In Brief

* * * Yes, “Open Your Eyes,” Beyond. Yes’ vocal harmonies have always been one of rock’s most epic sounds, and they definitely save the day on the band’s 17th studio album. Forget the silly song titles and New Age lyrics and concentrate instead on Yes’ constant struggle to create some sort of modern classical pop: a wacky mix of Stravinsky, Moody Blues and Vangelis movie scores. The group plays next Sunday at the Universal Amphitheatre.
