If you haven't heard Morphine I can pretty much guarantee you haven't heard anything else like it. Especially this album "Yes". Morphine is just a 3 piece band, Guitar, sax, and drums. But they are NOT ska. Not even close! They are a blues/rock/jazz combination. They are very talented, creative, and original. They are musical geniuses. Especially front man Mark Sandman. "Yes" is maybe the bands best album the other one would be "Cure for Pain". "Yes" has a definite feel to it. It plays kind of like a soundtrack. It sets the mood and tells you a story, though I have no idea what the story's about. It's an album you listen to from beginning to end. And it has one of the best beginnings with "Honey White", and one of the best endings with "Gone for Good", that I've ever heard on an album. "Gone for Good" Is one of the most touching songs I have ever heard. And maybe the best example of an elegy that I know of. I seriously would recommend this album to ANYONE who is a fan of music. "Yes" is one of the coolest albums ever recorded. This is what Frank Sinatra would be listening to if he were still alive. The music world suffered a great loss the day Mark Sandman died! But most will never no it.
