''The Yes Album'' is the third studio album by Music/{{Yes}}, released on 19 February 1971. It was the first album to feature Steve Howe, who replaced Peter banks on the guitar and introduced an acoustic sound alongside the Portuguese guitar. After facing the prospect of being dropped by Creator/AtlanticRecords given how the first two albums failed commercially, ''The Yes Album'' was a commercial breakthrough for Yes. The following March, "Your Move" from "I've Seen All Good People" was released as a single.

According to Anderson, the song is a commentary on how the kids fighting the war had no choice but to fight, and that it wasn't their fault.

!!Principal Members:
* Jon Anderson – vocals
* Music/BillBruford – drums, percussion
* Steve Howe – guitars, backing vocals
* Tony Kaye – keyboards
* Chris Squire – bass, backing vocals

!!Starship troper, go sailing on by:
* BoleroEffect: "Würm" employs this, starting with a keyboard riff slowly joined by more instruments, though it's capped with a guitar solo.
* EpicRocking: "Yours is No Disgrace", "Starship Trooper" and "Perpetual Change" all clock in above or around the nine minute mark. "I've Seen All Good People" is no slouch either, being almost seven minutes long.
* {{Instrumental}}: "Clap", which is Howe's solo piece. The version originally released on the studio album was from a live performance in Lyceum Theatre in London, though a studio version eventually got released in the 2003 Rhino remaster.

* ShoutOut:
** The title of "Starship Trooper" is apparently a LiteraryAllusionTitle to the novel ''Literature/StarshipTroopers'' by Creator/RobertAHeinlein, though it doesn't really have any connection to the novel other than the title. Anderson got the idea of a "Starship Trooper being another guardian angel and Mother Earth" after seeing the novel's title and wrote the lyrics around that concept.
** The first part of "I've Seen All Good People" has two references to Music/JohnLennon: one of the lines is "Send an instant karma to me, initial it with loving care", and towards the 3-minute mark during the {{scatting}} chorus, Anderson can be heard in the left channel singing "All we are saying, is give peace a chance!".[[note]]This is {{hilarious in hindsight}}[[invoked]] when you know that Alan White played the drums on "Instant Karma!"[[/note]]
* SpellMyNameWithAThe:
** It's important to include the ''The'' to set it apart from the debut album ''Music/{{Yes|Album}}''.
** [[InvertedTrope Inversely]], the second track isn't called "''The'' Clap". Unfortunately, Jon Anderson announced it with the wrong name, resulting in the record company mislabeling it for a while.
