Doubting between Arriving UFO and Circus Of Heaven, which are my least favorite tracks.
Okay, I chose Arriving UFO.

Speaking of "Release Release", it has parts in the vocal melody that remind me a lot of "Just the Same" by Gentle Giant.  Anyone else notice that?

Release Release; another song like GFTO where Anderson's voice is annoyingly shrill.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

One of my least favourite Yes albums, so it will be difficult to choose my least liked songs from it... because really I don't like almost any song, and actually I don't quiet remember them so well. The only ones I somewhat like are "Don't Kill the Whale", "Onward" and perhaps a bit less, also "Madrigal". And still, none of them are at the level of the best songs from any previous album since "The Yes Album". Right now, I guess I could choose "Circus of Heaven, just for being so silly.

I like this Yes album, and I think "Circus of Heaven" has a bit of charm.  "Arriving UFO" is one that I always forget about how it goes, so it gets the vote.

I'm actually quite fond of this album. It's gets more plays than GFTO, Drama, and Yes.

Release, Release for me.

Interestingly I've always really liked Circus Of Heaven (it's really pretty, just ruined by Jon's silly kid :P) and Arriving U.F.O (it's obviously silly but Rick Wakeman kicks total ass on it).

It's an underrated album, a failure more in production quality than composition. Only Release, Release feels really obviously crap to me. It's really obnoxious.

I agree 100%--Circus of Heaven was a poem that Jon wrote to his three year old son that turned into a Yes song---it was a children's bedtime story and I think a cute one----after he read the story to his kid---thinking the kid was gonna think it was great--- he tape recorded the boy's actual response which I think is pretty endearing---the kid didn't like all the magical crap and was looking for lion's and tiger's and clowns or candy floss ---great Yes song?...not really but it's so real and self-depricating that I really like it. So stop picking on this song!!!!Big smile

Arriving UFO has some harsh sounds that I find unappealing, and besides, it is self-consciously strange.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"
