How It Hits You
Did Jon Anderson do the soundtrack to The Never-ending Story? If not, why did no one make that happen? It seems like a no brainer.
So, we’ve reached the Christmas portion of the Listening Post. Woven through songs like “Easier Said Than Done” are strains of “O Come All Ye Faithful” but there’s nothing ON the album to indicate that it’s a Christmas record unless you look at the songlist and see the traditional stuff smattered throughout.
Anderson inarguably benefits from Roy Thomas Baker’s production, making it more listenable that it might have been otherwise.
You know what? I don’t love Anderson’s singing and I’ve never been a big fan of Yes but I might toss this on at Christmas-time just to mix things up from the tired and familiar stuff we hear every year.
