YOSO – Elements Deluxe 2 CD edition (2010)
The term “Super-Group” can only describe the formation of two of the most creative and musical legendary bands of the past 30 years into the new band YOSO.
Formed out of TOTO’s brilliant vocalist Bobby Kimball and the creative force of YES members, Tony Kaye and Billy Sherwood, it does indeed equal the magic of YES with the voice of TOTO.
However, YOSO is much more than a combination of two classic rock groups. YOSO has combined their musical talents to produce an album of new music, which comes together with a live CD which sees the band plays some of old and new classics.
Their collective mission is to make the next decade one where YOSO’s music will be held up alongside their classic rock backgrounds as a band as important as TOTO and YES.
From rock FM to pop-rock, the trio shuffles many influences and does not forget including perfectly gauged guitars and catchy choruses, obvious trademarks of TOTO and YES – ‘90125’ and ‘Big Generator’ eras.
Disc one features 12 new melodic rock songs at a very high technical level and very well crafted, packed catchy hooks and a very good vocal performance.
Disc two is a live disc with liver versions of some YOSO songs along with some of TOTO and YES biggest hits and a cool Yes-medley.
