Exact same thing happened to me. I heard 4,3,2,1 and thought Yes! would be on the same level or higher than JR/Atlantis. I guess it's gotta be pretty difficult to live up to those standards but he raised his game (IMO) from JR to Atlantis so I guess I just expected Yes! to be the same. That said, I still really like Yes!, just saying it wasn't AS good.

Damn fans and our expectations and shit.
