Hoo boy! The new Yes. Some decent musicianship, but evident in the songwriting department is the need
to attract an introduction by Kasey Kasem. There's a sheen to this album that bothers me, especially on
_Owner Of A Lonely Heart_ and _It Can Happen_. Too many repetitive choruses in the lyrical
department. I've always enjoyed the final track _Hearts_, which is the direction they thankfully continued
with on their next long player _BIG GENERATOR_ in 1987. _Changes_ is another great track with
excellent xylophone and great time changes. _Cinema_ is a flashy instrumental but much too short.
_Leave It_ is a Trevor Horn production tour de force(credit for a great vocal performance as well). Other
than that, there's a lot of filler, especially _City Of Love_, which sounds like Loverboy at their most
progressive(wink, wink). Promising album, but the better and more sold album is their 1987 effort - BIG
GENERATOR.
