MAGNIFICATION

This is an awesome album, probably their best composition since "Going for the One". After the disappointment of the "Rabin Years" it is great to listen to a Yes album which is truly progressive. The use of orchestra instead of keyboards enhances this album, since the departure of Rick Wakeman the keyboards on most Yes albums have been a secondary consideration. The whole album has a "Time And A Word" feel about it and the band are obviously enjoying themselves again after many mediocre years. Buy everything up to "Going for the One" and then this album, ignoring everything in between.
