4 stars YES came back here, stronger than ever! No more easy pop for teens! There are very good rythmic songs, having a Latino influence: WAKEMAN's keyboards sound like Latin horn arrangements: "Fist of fire"; "Teakbois". There are excellent relaxing songs: "The Meeting" is a beautiful relaxing song, with excellent piano and gentle floating keyboards. "Let's Pretend" is another great relaxing song, full of acoustic guitars and delicate ethereal floating keyboards; ANDERSON sings with his heart. "The Order of the Universe" is the most rythmic rock song here: the guitar sounds like on the "Big Generator" album.

IMO the best song is definitely "Quartet", a delicate & delightful progressive song: mandolin, gentle acoustic & electric guitars, outstanding lead vocals, and the most noticeable: have you heard those symphonic string & woodwind instruments arrangements like? Is it WAKEMAN's keyboards? Absolutely grand! Sincerely, it is one of my favorite songs from YES. Finally, do not forget the "hit" "Brother of Mine", a catchy long song of about 10 minutes.
