The Ladder is the eighteenth studio album by progressive rock band Yes and was released in 1999. The follow-up to 1997's tepidly-received Open Your Eyes, The Ladder was seen as a conscious return to the classic Yes sound, while maintaining a contemporary edge.
It is the only Yes album with keyboardist Igor Khoroshev as a full time member, and the last with guitarist Billy Sherwood (also, the only one in which he did not play keyboards).

Famous quotes containing the word ladder:
“George Shears ... was hanged in a barn near the store. The rope was thrown over a beam, and he was asked to walk up a ladder to save the trouble of preparing a drop for him. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I am not used to this business. Shall I jump off or slide off?” He was told to jump.”
