I bought this record when it dropped and will always remember being blown away when I dropped the needle on side two as Cinema faded away and the void was filled with with slicker than slick A Capella magic of Leave it (which had not hit the radio yet). As much as the 70s catalog represents unparalleled masterworks, this record (and the whole Rabin era catalog remain a vitally important phase of this, my favorite, band's legacy. And I can't really explain it, but this is my favorite album cover of all time. I love Dean's works (especially Asia's debut and Drama), but this cover was such a perfect statement ot art and design in 1983 ideally representing the music that it enveloped.
90125 was the first Yes record I ever really listened to. 90125 made me a Yes fan. To me, it was the gateway to all the wonderful music Yes had ever made, especially their classic music from the 1970s.
Another fantastic review with great care in your details. I always made the same comparison to the guitar tone of Iommi. Love it and in fact this is actually my favourite Yes record. Musically it is awesome, but most Yes was/is, so the favouritism is likely due to fond memories associated with my age at the time. Thank you for sharing. 🤘🤘👍
I love Yes. and that was a great review. I would add that it is also the vocal choir style of Anderson and Squire that ties all the Yes era's together. Leave it was fresh and it reminded me of the way I felt the first time that I heard All Good People.
One of my favorite albums of the 80s. Rabin was (and still is) an incredible talent. He brought so much to the table.

Yes for a younger generation of fans I think that was a common experience.
