90125 is a great pop album that only gets the flack it does because it's from Yes, I've always stood by that.
It's funny though that they brought Tony Kaye back, he originally left the band because he didn't want to use synthesizers, only for him to return when their music was at it's synthiest, I think he only played piano and organ which wasn't as prominent in the band's sound as it used to be, Trevor Rabin plays most of the synths on 90125 and Big Generator, he practically took over as the band's leader.
Trevor Horn really was the unofficial sixth member of the band at that point, 90125 was his baby and he co-wrote the two biggest hits. I love Horn's over the top production style, his stuff is overproduced in all the right ways.
