Destin and Drew jump back in time to 1971 and travel through the seminal album The Yes Album to discuss how this record launched Yes on the trajectory to becoming one of the most formative bands in the progressive rock genre. While employing Steve Howe's superb talents as an eclectic guitarist and crafting lengthier pieces laden with the lyrical voice of Jon Anderson, this progressive rock band managed to keep their ambitious arrangements grounded, resulting in an exhibition of phenomenal musicianship and promising songwriting. From lineup changes to album artwork, this episode features a slew of history and fun facts that give insight into the creation of one of Yes's most celebrated works. Those familiar with this popular entry in the Yes catalog are sure to appreciate this installment of Delve It or Shelve It as Destin and Drew rejoice over their favorite moments on an album that strengthened their friendship.
