Product Description

Step into the world of progressive rock with Yes's 1999 album, "The Ladder." This symphonic and art rock masterpiece is a testament to the band's enduring musical prowess and innovative spirit. Clocking in at a solid hour, the album is a journey through intricate compositions and powerful performances that showcase Yes's signature sound.

From the opening notes of "Homeworld - The Ladder" to the final strains of "Nine Voices - Longwalker," each track is a blend of complex time signatures, soaring vocals, and virtuosic instrumental work. The album features a mix of epic, thought-provoking pieces and more accessible, melodic tracks, ensuring a dynamic listening experience.

"The Ladder" marks a return to form for Yes, with the band's classic lineup of Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Alan White, and new addition, keyboardist Igor Khoroshev. The addition of Khoroshev brings a fresh energy to the band's sound, adding layers of depth and complexity to the album's compositions.

Highlights include the anthemic "It Will Be a Good Day - The River," the driving rhythm of "Lightning Strikes," and the introspective ballad "If Only You Knew." The album also features the ambitious "The Messenger," a multi-part suite that showcases the band's ability to weave together disparate musical ideas into a cohesive whole.

Released on earMUSIC Classics, "The Ladder" is a must-listen for fans of progressive rock and a compelling introduction for those new to Yes's discography. With its blend of technical brilliance and emotional resonance, this album is a testament to the enduring power of progressive rock.

This 2020 Limited Edition Reissue 2LP set is housed in a gatefold, pressed on 180g vinyl.

  • Incredible, Powerful Thrill Ride

    5 out of 5 stars
    cshakq8517 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    Incredible! This pressing is absolutely amazing. The sound is pure, crisp, and full of power. Plus, the album is a non-stop thrill ride from beginning to end.

  • Yes Album Shines

    5 out of 5 stars
    YcEl056427 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    Echoing others' thoughts: a top-notch, crisply produced, high-quality pressing. Reasonably priced. But more significantly, the music is rather outstanding for a later-stage Yes album. It's an improvement over Magnification, which followed it.

  • Brilliant Vinyl Gift

    5 out of 5 stars
    xezr67394 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    A buddy gifted me this for my birthday. Yes's album is absolutely brilliant, and it comes in a gorgeous gatefold sleeve. The vinyl pressing is top-notch! Even though I always give new albums a clean, you'll be blown away by the pressing plant's incredible attention to detail and quality!

  • Budget-Friendly Yes Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    rvilnagd_22 July 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm currently spinning the first LP, and I must say, it's pretty impressive! Considering the budget-friendly price of this release, I'm sure the tracks are sourced digitally, but hey, it still sounds great. There's hardly any surface noise and barely any debris on the records, which I wasn't expecting given the thin, cardstock-like lyric inner-sleeves. My only issue is exactly that, and it's the same with the only other Ear Music album I have, Yes' Songs From Tsongas - they don't include plastic inner sleeves, just those card-stock ones, or the paper ones for the Songs from Tsongas album. It would've been awesome if they'd done something like the King Crimson reissues with those poly-lined promo inner-sleeves, but I guess I'm just expecting too much. I snagged this for about CA$26, and for that price, it's a fantastic buy - in my book, it's one of the better things Yes put out in the 90s.

  • Ear Music Delivers Brilliance

    5 out of 5 stars
    saseh20 February 2025United States🇺🇸

    Can't say much more... it's absolutely fantastic in every aspect. I rushed to buy this thinking it was the MOV edition (my go-to label) and when I got it and saw the Ear Music label, I was let down. Until I hit play. No disappointment at all, it's brilliant.
