For 90125, one of the best and brightest of all Yes incarnations came together with a new producer and a new guitarist to craft a record that would fly in the face of everything they had produced to that point in their long and successful career.
All of the familiar Yes elements are present in 90125 – Kaye's flowing keyboard melodies and groundbreaking synthesizer sounds, White's intricate percussion and Squire's precise bass, Anderson's piercing high tenor – but Horn and Rabin sought to hone a new edge on these sounds.
It is a flawless performance by a band recreating itself for a new generation of listeners, a re-invention that stunned their long-time fans, a reference recording for the entire music industry.

 [No title]
The “90125” album, released in November 1983, was hailed as up-to-the-minute music, proving that this lineup could indeed invent fresh and commercially popular arrangements without sacrificing their reputation as tight, technical musicians in a progressive mode.
The question that remained then was whether they could take it on the road, and prove that they could still reproduce the older songs to the satisfaction of long-time followers, as well as draw in new fans with the live performance of the most recently released material.
The entire “90125” album was performed during the course of the shows at the beginning of the tour.

He was also the driving force behind progressive rock goliaths Yes during the ‘80s and early ‘90s—the revitalized line-up behind 1983’s multi-platinum 90125 and the number one single “Owner of a Lonely Heart.” Rabin served as the muse behind the group’s rebirth, as well as its formidable lead guitarist.

 Ground and Sky review - Yes - 90125
Anyway, fifteen years later, 90125 is now generally dismissed as a dated relic or a horrific AOR soul-sale on the part of a once-great band.
I'd have to be crazy not to admit that it is indeed a period piece of the early 80s, and I cackle that a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I once thought "City of Love" was a good song.
In short, I think 90125 often gives a spark of imaginative integration of pop with prog, and is a worthy companion to other proggified pop albums in the same vein from that particular time, like The Police's Synchronicity or Rush's Grace Under Pressure.

Both Drama and 90125 are still causing debate amongst the Yes community over twenty years after their release.
By the time that 90125 arrived in late 1983 it was deemed a comeback.
The real interest will lie with the previously unreleased It's Over which is a track that would have fitted in to the 90125 scheme of things had CD been available at the time otherwise 90125 still sounds excellent which in some ways is down to the wonderful production by another former Yes man Trevor Horn.

So Yes was finally reformed and their first real 80s album, 90125 was released (named after the album's # in the Atlantic records catalogue).
Don't listen to their 1-star reviews because most of them are hardcore fans of former 70s prog/rock bands who cannot accept a little change in their favorite bands.
I'll state my opinion from a neutral standpoint: if you can accept the fact that 90125 leaves the wildly progressive 70s era behind for more of a simple approach, then you will enjoy this album very much.

My conclusion is that ‘90125’ may stand in bleak contrast with Yes’ masterpieces from the seventies, but it is not a terrible album overall.
90125 is just aweful...there's one good song on there in "cinema" and really...it's not even that much of a song.
In the case of YES: 90125, it is album written and performed by a group of very talented muscians combined at perhaps the peak of their muscial prowess, and consiting of music that was not exactly what was what they were known for.

With the release of Yes' new album 90125, the last of the mega-progressive rock groups of the early 1970s has navigated its way safely into the port of pop music.
Part of the reason for this may lie in the fact that 90125 was made by the third Yes lineup to appear in as many albums.
90125 is a consistently listenable album of songs which, though not often inspired, are so well produced that things keep humming alone nicely throughout.

 Review: "Yes: 90125 (remaster)" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music!
Not to mention that Yes had a fairly large stockpile of unused songs, demos, out-takes, and other assorted odd-and-ends that were just waiting to find themselves on something else other than expensive box sets.
In my opinion, 90125 is an album that had to happen to take Yes to a new level and breath live into a band that had basically fallen apart.
90125 is not only an exceptional Yes album, but it is a great 80's rock album, period.

It is widely documented that Howe was deeply critical of the 90125 effort at the time of its release, that he felt it very commercial, contrived, and un-Yes-ish...
As much as it pains me to say it, 90125 comes away the winner for me. Asia's first 2 albums seem SO formulatic to me. The same sounds, same Rhythms, same beats.
90125 explores a lot of different avenues in the rock/pop realm and does so with a modecum of intelligence, I think.

Given the personnel, 90125 counts as a reunion album of sorts, but considering the sound, reinvention might be a more apt term.
Applying the same kind of flashy pop sensibility he showed on ABC's Lexicon of Love, Horn has rechanneled Yes' predilection for sonic excess, and the result is a sound that relies on production and arranging tricks instead of instrumental flash.
Although 90125 occasionally falls back on old tricks, as in "Cinema" and the overblown "Our Song," most of the album is surprisingly spritely and poppish.

 YES Album discussion volume 1: 90125
We had Yessongs in the house years before 90125 came out, it was my sister's- and I just didn't seem to get it.
Also, the 90125 tour was the first rock concert I ever went to.
I remained loyal to the "YesWest" lineup because of the impact 90125 had on me- and as WilsonCat can attest (if you're reading this thread), I foolishly denied myself the ABWH era music for about a year or so to show my loyalty.

A stunning self-reinvention by a band that many had given up for dead, 90125 is the album that introduced a whole new generation of listeners to Yes.
Begun as Cinema, a new band by Chris Squire and Alan White, the project grew to include the slick production of Trevor Horn, the new blood (and distinctly '80s guitar sound) of Trevor Rabin, and eventually the trademark vocals of returning founder Jon Anderson.

As I mentioned in my Progression column in the Fall 2003/Winter 2004 issue (#44), Yes' 90125 has long been a favourite of mine, and, in fact, the very first Yes album I bought.
90125 is markedly different from previous Yes albums.
Part of the difference in sound was the presence of Trevor Rabin, who gave this new Yes a harder edge (though by no means metal).

The quartet had already begun writing and recording, but Anderson was able to insert himself into the proceedings with such ease that the new combination sounds completely natural on 90125.
Mostly, the band was concerned with trimming the musical fat to keep pace with the onslaught of the 1980s.
The unusual time changes and complex riffs of tunes like "Changes" and "Cinema" leave little doubt that this is still a Yes album, but the band succeeds in giving their sound a contemporary overhaul on 90125.

 Yes - 90125
Il disco è a suo modo paradigmatico, e un modello, di certo rock pomposo degli anni ’80, fatto di voci corali e sovrapposte, ritmica semplificata rispetto all’epoca del progressive, chitarre accattivanti e di facile presa sull’ascoltatore.
90125 è un buon album nel contesto poco movimentato degli '80 secondo me. Tre generazioni hanno assistito al concerto: diciottenni, trentenni (tra i quali io) e cinquantenni: questa è la chiave.
Sono contento di 90125 perchè è un ottimo esempio di buona musica.
