It's nice, but I've never been into Dean's tropical work.

But maybe it matches the music well.

To me it looks a little "Close-to-the-edge-y".......... not that that determines anything about the music within!

I'm curious about the fish scales in the logo though.

It's not ugly I think. It's not the most beautiful album but not the worst I've seen.

Yeah, and the red stuff as well. Blood? Or red ink?

Tongue in cheek! Red ink referring to the upcoming tour with Styx and Toy (an indie rock band who don't belong on the bill).

Oh, okay, that's the actual cover! Yeah, I like this one quite a bit! Still not sure about the logo, but it's an update from the old CTTE model.

Maybe I'm saying something everyone else already knows the reason for, but the black cats a reference to the Horn/Downes era and the song "We Can Fly From Here"?

Why must my spell-checker continually underline the word "prog"?

That album cover is amazing! Old school artwork and looks good alongside other Yes albums - a real blast from the past.

Lets hope the songs are as good a quality

And the tracklisting: 1. Fly From Here - Overture, 2. Fly From Here - Pt I - We Can Fly, 3. Fly From Here - Pt II - Sad Night At The Airfield, 4. Fly From Here - Pt III - Madman At The Screens, 5. Fly From Here - Pt IV - Bumpy Ride, 6. Fly From Here - Pt V - We Can Fly Reprise, 7. The Man You Always Wanted Me To Be, 8. Life On A Film Set, 9. Hour Of Need, 10. Solitaire, 11. Into The Storm

Great cover. Maybe a little cluttered but I still love it.

I like it, it's a vast improvement on the cover he did a few years ago for Glass Hammer.

The blue logo, which some thought were "fish scales" (Squire perhaps?) seem to be blue parrot feathers with blood upon them!

I guess that implies a less-than-happy ending for Polly! Cry
