Big Generator Review
07/13/2005 4:05 AM, AMG
The four-years-in-the-making follow-up to Yes's comeback album, 90125, Big Generator was also a million-selling hit, although not as successful as its predecessor, probably because the singles "Love Will Find a Way" (#30) and "Rhythm of Love" (#40) couldn't match "Owner of a Lonely Heart" from the previous LP, even if they were favorites on AOR radio at the time. Actually, it was the title track that was a carbon-copy of "Owner," so maybe that was the problem. More likely, though, "Owner" was a one-shot (courtesy of producer Trevor Horn), and as Yes asserted itself more here, they reverted more to their old style, making for some confusion. Nevertheless, this album was the group's last major hit. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
