As would happen with Genesis and their album "Invisible touch", Yes would obtain with "90125" the biggest commercial success until reaching a surprising top-5 in the album chart.
Unlike their previous Yes albums here they completely abandon complexity to focus on a more hard rock sound with many AOR influences.
The album contains moments of great affordable melodies, catchy rhythms and an irresistible commercial sound.
The band at this time, as had happened with other greats of the seventies, had adapted to new ways of making music, which compared to their masterpieces of the previous decade is favored by its originality.
An important part of this revulsion would be its new guitarist Trevor Rabin, who almost completely assumes the leadership, both compositionally and his guitarist contribution; very aggressive and melodic and his way of conceiving music.
The mega-hit "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", the energetic "Changes" and the rhythmic "Hold On" are the ones that best demonstrate the second youth of a resurrected band with a recycled, attractive and addictive sound.
