Yes (Morphine album)
Yes is the third studio album by alternative rock band Morphine, released in March 1995. It was their first album to make the Billboard Top 200, but fared less well abroad than its predecessor. As of February 1997 it has sold 156,000 copies in United States according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Critical reception
In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Greg Prato felt that on Yes Morphine had moved away from the more "accessible direction" they had introduced on 1994's Cure for Pain for a more "challenging direction." He found Yes to be "just a shade less spectacular than Cure for Pain, but certainly not by much."Track listing
