Grrr. So jealous!!
Tickets went on sale last wednesday and I just checked the website to see how the sale is going. So far only tickets for the first 20 rows are sold... :confused: The venue isn't THAT big but this doesn't sound too good.

But.... how can people not adore King Of Rome? It's fast becoming one of my favourites. It's straight out of Behaviour.

Indeed. It just oozes class. It's in my top five from the album.

The only songs I don't like are Building a Wall (they 3rd grade poetry lyrics spoil it for me) and Legacy. The rest is just excellent, including King of Rome!

They're all great songs really. There isn't a single one that I don't love.

they really needed to release a second single right before the album's launch. all over the world is the only track that could revive yes's fortunes. shame their best album in more than a decade will come down in history as yet another fans only gem.

It's so weird though. They hire Madonna's ex-manager and work with Xenomania, yet aside from the Brits thing(which was a fluke), they've done f*ck all proper promotion and are choosing the wrong singles.

Ugh.

it'd be easy to reckon it's parlophone's fault, but i think they just screwed it up big time. they probably thought the brits exposure would be enough to secure a glorious comeback.

I don't think that they could realistically do anything at this point to become a major sales force again, but the lack of TV promotion has been utterly shocking. They should have been booked on numerous TV shows, not just one midweek late night chat show. Oh well, at least the music is still wonderful!

for some reason I figured they were promoting the CD more. I saw the Graham Norton as BBC America airs him too, I figured PSB were whoring this album the way U2 did theirs.

A B+ from big US magazine Entertainment Weekly! :clap:

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20272278,00.html

When the economy finally kicks the last velvet-rope VIP down to the breadline, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe will remain in their hot tubs, counting their gold. Because no one writes better dance-pop odes to the Fallen Empire of the Feel-Good Class. The cool-throbbing ''Love Etc.'' sharply skewers Gerhard Richter-collecting socialites, and the Spector-inflected ballad ''Beautiful People'' is the perfect lullaby for the Blair Waldorf generation. Better yet, the hooks on Yes are as smart as Tennant's mouth, and on tracks like ''Pandemonium,'' the disco's so primal, you could smash your bone china to the beat. B+
