Take it or leave it

Here's a funny one. As in goofy and interesting also. I'm sure the members of Yes had to pinch themselves when they thought about the career arc that brought them from Close To The Edge to this. This being such a nakedly commercial play that they actually named the 90125 album after its record label catalog number! But the fact that it's such a snazzy slice of commercial pop is pretty impressive for a bunch of washed-up prog dudes, even if this version of the band saw Steve Howe gone in favor of the much more '80s looking Trevor Rabin (who was equally dweeby at heart).

In the end, this one's all about producer Trevor Horn, who got some SB love a while back, and who deserves credit for slyly adding lots of artiness to the early '80s pop vernacular. And this brings us to the lyrics, the silliness of which may be the only cue that these are the same guys who once took us to the heart of the sunrise.
