I subscribe to any and all reactors who like Yes. You remind me of my first reactions to their music from that magical decade. The music still sounds fresh after 54 years, even if I'm not...For me tears still flow freely listening to many of their symphonic epics - Awaken, And You and I, Wonderous Stories, Close to the Edge, Gates of Delirium, Heart of the Sunrise. The lyrics are hard to decipher but the effort can be worthwhile - or not. The message comes through emotionally, not literally. More Yes please!

As far as interpreting the lyrics, I find that Perpetual Change has the most accessible message of their huge repertoire. A warning against humanity’s growing technological hubris. “And there you are, saying we have the moon so now the stars, when all we see is near-disaster gazing down on you and me…” A clear, direct reference to the Apollo missions, which were ongoing at the time the song was written. Other than that… yeah. Mostly up to individual interpretation. Cheers!

While you've been freaking out over Zeppelin, Atlantic Records labelmates Yes were developing their sound in a rather different way. With influences that ranged from jazz to country music to television themes, they worked often by stitching together ideas by the different members of the group. And, as pioneers in 'progressive rock', it wasn't too long before those ideas were stretching songs longer and longer - till sometimes there were only three tracks on an album! This is from their third release, cunningly named 'The Yes Album' and I think the standout feature is probably Chris Squire's constantly shifting bass-line, over which everything else is happening.

Don't bother listening to the lyrics. Just hear them. John uses words that sound good first meaning is more secondary. He very much uses his voice from an instrument perspective rather than a story telling vocal. That is not to say there is no meaning behind the song, it's often spiritual in nature and requires the listener to apply their own meaning to it. .Perfect!

One of the best 5 bands I’ve ever heard - both recorded & live - in my 66 years on earth. Yes is meant for mind traveling. It’s not pop, with quick and easy songs. It’s rock, but constructed like classical, with movements and sections… all revolving around a concept or idea. Try ‘Roundabout’ next… it will draw you in. So many classic songs & albums… some so great they’ve been known to bring tears. I hope you’ll get to the point you can enjoy them like I have for 50+ years! Oh, and BTW… Jon Anderson’s lyrics are often indecipherable… and he has said he sometimes writes words and phrases that just sound good with the music, or have a certain flow. Have fun!

My favourite group ever, after I discovered them in the early 1970''s. Apart from Chris Squires amazing bass playing style, listen out for his harmonies with Jon Anderson, their voices blend seamlessly and you might think it is over dubs but it's not. Also 'Yes" lyrics tend to be a bit obscure, so don't try to understand them, just enjoys them like you would another instrument. As others have said stick to their first half a dozen albums to start off with. Last Enjoy the journey and the musical landscapes their music creates. Last of all their live performances are a wonder to behold.

I would probably be better and more appreciative quickly now. When it comes to lyrics, I think they are often phrases that sound good and fit the music.

This song is an excellent example of the original wave of progressive rock, which featured bands like Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer and Peter Gabriel-era Genesis. One of the main features of this genre was incorporating classical music conventions into rock songs, including the building blocks of "movements" which are separate musical sections that vary in sound and style, but ultimately create a full symphony. "I've Seen All Good People", also from this album, is another good example of building a song out of separate movements. And both of them rock!

One last comment: I recommend against jumping straight from this song to "Close to the Edge", which is considered by many Yes fans to be the band's greatest song. I think it's better to listen to several of their less lengthy songs first and get comfortable with their style, so that when you get to "Close to the Edge" you can fully appreciate it. Some good follow-ons to "Starship Trooper" would be (in chronological order of release) "I've Seen All Good People", "Yours Is No Disgrace", "Roundabout", "South Side of the Sky", "Long Distance Runaround", "Heart of the Sunrise", "And You and I", and "Siberian Khatru". You don't need to hear them all but I suggest you listen to at least three or four before hitting "Close to the Edge".

Great to hear a blast from the past. I bought this album when it came out. I was in high school. Yes kept me sane all the way through college. They were one of the most important progressive rock bands of the 1970s - and later. There is still an incarnation of them going today! They have had various members come and go, and die, but the sound has followed similar core principles all along. If you are REALLY, REALLY brave, listen to the title track of *Close to the Edge.* It's a mind warping masterpiece. It will take you on a very wild journey from peace to chaos to peace again, with LOTS of changes in between. Nice reaction! Don't try too hard to understand Jon Anderson's lyrics. He is very cryptic and inspired by mystic authors. Some think he dropped too much acid... 🤣His lyrics are not very literal or logical.

These songs / tunes / extravaganza's are meant for repeated listening - every time you come back, you'll hear something new (there is just so much happening, you can't get it all 1st time.

"Weird... but good!" For a first-time listen to a Yes song, that's about right, LOL. I was first introduced to Yes as a college freshman in 1977. The complexity of their music makes it a little difficult to connect with at first. The more you listen to it, the easier it becomes to hear the different themes and layers, and recognize how they relate to each other. After you become comfortable with the layering and transitions, the more hooked you get, and the less satisfying simpler music will seem. It's a journey that requires attention and commitment but the reward is incalculable.

Jon Anderson is the singer, and when he talks about his lyrics he said he doesn't always write them to tell a story but more to play an instrument. He uses the sounds of words and the rhythm of words to write his vocal part and so sometimes it really doesn't seem to make that much sense.

Back when this album came out we smoke a joint and kick back and listen to this song.

Sometimes it takes a couple listens to really appreciate the brilliance of their music, especially if you have never heard progressive rock before.

Great to see young people enjoying the music of my youth. Check out the live version of the Cinema Show by Genesis, contemporaries of Yes.
