It actually pains me to say these things about a song by one of my 3 favourite bands but unfortunately I find it unlistenable and that's the only time I've said that about a Yes song.
I don't mind the rest of the album now, it's not great but it's ok. I'll just make sure I skip this particular song.

In that case, you won't be surprised to hear "Mystery Tour" is the highlight of the album for me.

Just checking the lyrics -
"Shining like the moon, the stars and the sun They knew the revolution had already begunThey gave us pins and needles on their mystery tour Through the bathroom window without going out of your door" Not sure about the reference to "pins and needles" - does Howe not know this is a Searchers song?

"Mystery Tour" just came up on a Spotify playlist I was listening to. I got about halfway before I moved on to the next track, if I ever hear it again I may have to tear my own ears off.

We should all start the first class action suit against Yes for making this album The injunction would dictate that they must stop making music that is harmful to the ears  |

I doubt that very much. I also feel McCartney and Starr may sue if they hear this "tribute".

^ Indeed it's better than Heaven & Earth... but that's not much of a compliment.

I'm giving it a good listen now, it is not as bad as I was led to believe. Certainly better than "Heaven & Earth."
BTW, I was the one to suggest Jon Davison as a vocalist for Yes. 10 years ago. |

Your warning sounds suspiciously like a quote from the beginning of Hawkwind's "Sonic Attack"  Edited by Psychedelic Paul - November 02 2021 at 03:08 |

Your positive review was Music to My Ears after reading many of the negative comments on this thread. Having crossed The Ice Bridge to embark on The Quest yesterday, you may Dare to Know that I regard this magnificent album as the best YES album ever and I'm in total agreement with your excellent review. The Quest is an album I definitely won't want to Leave Well Alone for the foreseeable future, as it's a superb album I can return to again and again. Yes, it's true that The Quest is Minus the Man Jon Anderson, but Jon Davison is one of the finest singers in The Western Edge of the hemisphere and he sounds remarkably like Jon Anderson at times. It's so good to hear a Living Island of great music in the Damaged World we're living in and what a wonderful tribute to The Beatles in the magical Mystery Tour. This classic album is sure to live on in Future Memories of future generations. A genuine 5-star masterpiece for sure!  |
