the music is not completely unlike Yes, on Tormato they already started with their transition to more Radio-friendly progressive rock (Release, Release), and also Drama was a prelude for the new direction they were taking. The new guitarist, the south African trevor Rabin had a huge influence on the direction and music of the new Yes, and on this record it works fabulously, also the return of Tony Kaye to Yes works out great.
Basicly 90125 sounds like classic rock, with intelligent writing and very skillfull excecution of the songs. Core elements on the album are Jon's distinct vocals, combined with Chris/Trevor additional vocal lines, Heavy Brian May influenced guitar style, strong bass and drums, and great organ'keyboard play from Tony Kaye.
The album has no bad songs, the best songs include the hitsingle Owner Of A Lonely Heart, The progressive art rock of Changes, Hearts and Cinema, the first two are ballad like songs, while Cinema is a 2 minute instrumental. It Can Happen, and the other songs are all very good also.
If you expect something similar to Yes's early 70's albums, you might feel cheated, but when approached with an open mind, there surely is some good rock to be enjoyed. Rewarded with 4 stars, but only because it's not as progressive as their early years, but not really less good, just different.
Recommended, with a little warning for the prog-purists. - Review by tuxon (Gerald)
