The key components to every great prog-rock album comprise memorable guitar riffs, punchy immediacy, ample rhythmic kick and the imaginative capacity to transport the listener to a place well beyond the confines of reality. Yes' The Yes Album features all of these rare qualities and more, the 1971 record as significant for saving the band's career as well as for establishing new parameters in virtuosic technicality and skilled composition. The first set recorded with guitarist Steve Howe, The Yes Album remains Yes' grandest achievement and claims a musical vision the British quintet's contemporaries struggled to match. And now, it finally has audiophile sound to match, courtesy of Mobile Fidelity.
