A good song, Steve Howe is just as good as ever, however, I must mention one downfall of the album, and it is a MAJOR pitfall. Mirror to the Sky is the twenty-third studio album by English progressive rock band Yes, released on 19 May 2023 by InsideOut Music and Sony Music. Nonetheless, Graff wrote the album "gives us every reason to hope this is the beginning of a prolific new era for the band. All Connected' is for sure a nod to the years when Jon Anderson was the creative force behind many of the compositions of the band, not a bad track either.

Yes and all related bands (Arc of life, DBA, The Prog Collective) have been in a great prolific stream. But let’s be honest, the Downes-Howe collaboration “Living Out Their Dream” is the worst of the six tracks.With this, the 23rd studio album from prog legends Yes, and following on the heels of their somewhat underwhelming 2021 album, The Quest (which didn't sound much like Yes at all), there was some cause for concern.

Living Out Their Dream' is a pretty nice highlight, sounds like something that has slipped away from the 'Going for the One' sessions. But what makes The Ladder great is an outside ear, and Bruce Fairbairn gave that disc a unique flavor—a fact which Steve Howe agrees with me on, since we discussed this very point at the Yes VIP Meet and Greet in Vancouver, Canada, which was where the album was recorded. I also love how the best of their music is centred on simple memorable melody but arranged to otherworldly status. As I listened to these tracks, I realized that Jon Davison has consolidated his place in the history of this band as one of its giants.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Davison took Sherwood's initial parts and rearranged them using audio editing software to make a new arrangement, after which the band built on it and reproduced their respective parts.
