5 stars It's great to read all of the differing opinion on this album. It makes sense, since Jet Lag is SO different from anything else they had done- and the switch from the in-your-face hard rock (PFM style) on Chocolate Kings to the almost Jazzy Jet Lag could be disconcerting.

Hard to let go of a band's style- I still haven't forgiven Yes for flattening out after Relayer.... but if you're not sure that this is a great album, give it another listen. Jet Lag is superb. After all these years it rises to near the top of the stack of pretty much all the progressive rock that we love. Definitely listen again.

"Peninsula" right into the title track- it's one of those classic moments- like when you hear the "bu bum bu bum bu bum bu bum... I've got faces and traces of home...." just so juicy!

And forgive me, I don't have the album with me, but I think it's "Left Handed Theory" that starts out with the violin which almost magically morphs into the song- another delicious moment.

It's all great. Play it again (did I say that already?).

Definitely a 5 star for me.
