UNION

What a strange album!We have so much things in this album.The end of Yes West is already fact;we have an union really - it is between Yes West and ABWH;we have really very controversial album;we have eight-person Yes;almost all former members of the band preform on the album (so much great musicians);for me it's really hard to review this album,because I grew up with this album.This is the first Yes' music I've ever heard.I know this music much earlier than all of the classic albums and when I became interested in Yes again it was very strange for that this is not the ultimate Yes' music.I am emotional linked with this album and I'm not sure,whether I can review it objectively.Probably no...For me this is really creative music and I believe that it is the best Yes' album since 1983 reunion of the band.It contains some great hits like Shock to the System,Lift Me Up,Saving My Heart and many more.It also contains first shared lead vocals for Yes.I think it's the seventh best album for Yes(after Relayer,Close to the Edge,Fragile,Going for the One,Drama and Tales from Topographic Oceans)!4 stars for me!!!
