Yes - 2002 In A Word. Box-Set 5CDs. Rhino
by server_alliance
Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Yes already had a box set in the first great rush of rock boxes in the late '80s/early '90s. Although it was pretty good, YesYears felt like it was lacking something -- it either needed more rarities, or it needed to tell the story better. Rhino's 2002 box set In a Word takes the latter approach, choosing to present the band's history (including selections from Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe) in a logical, leisurely way over five discs, sequencing them like one long, cohesive album. The sound is better than YesYears, but not drastically better than the Atlantic reissues of the mid-'90s. There are some rarities, but not many, and nothing of real note to anybody outside of the devoted collector. Its true strength is that it tells the story exceedingly well, with all the chart and radio hits accounted for, along with significant album tracks from their baroque early recordings to their records from the '90s. True, you do need to have a deep interest in Yes to get this -- and, if you do, you'll likely have much of this material already -- but if all you want is one comprehensive Yes album in your collection, this suits the bill.
CD1.

4 stars - A great starting point with YES! - This Box-Set is a excellent choice if you are new to YES (Though it costs VERY much). Classics like "Starship Trooper", "Roundabout", "Heart of Sunrise", "Close to The Edge", "Gates of Delerium" etc. is of course here and make this set worth it's money! The booklet (or should i say "Book") that follows is great, with a complete discography of the band, history of the band, band member over the years and lot's of pitcures of the band + cover design by Roger Dean!!! The reason that i give this set 4 instead of 5 stars is because there are some bad songs here and there, but the rest is excellent!!! Highly recommended!! 4 stars.

5 stars - Yes-In A Word is an excellent box-set, and covers every square inch of the band's career. Starting with 'very Little Thing and finishing with 'In The Presence Of...' it is the perfect collection for anyone looking for some classic prog-and of course, Yes define classic prog. Even the Rabin-years are highly litenable, even if it doesn't quite compare to the magical 'Close To The Edge' or 'Yours Is No Disgrace'. There are, obviously, some noticeable classics which do not appear. Where is 'And You And I' (although, that would result in all of the 'Close To The Edge' album would appear, and record companies would do that for business purposes), and where is ''No Oppurtunity Needed, No Experience Nessecery'. But, the ommissions don't matter anymore, not with such an impressive track listing.
