5 stars After thinking very hard about this album I have come to the conclusion that this is forth best yes album behind CTTE, Fraglie and Relayer. Every song on the album is exceptional but the two main hightlights are "Awaken" and "Turn Of The Century." But of course we cannot forget about "wonderous stories" which is one of yes's most favored songs by the "non-prog" music llsieners. The classical guitar playing in "Turn Of The Century" is a real masterpeice as is the enitre song with ecellent lyrics and it is performed very well.(10/10) Wonderous stories is one of those songs that just stuck to many people because of its "wonderous" sound and lyrics. (9/10) "Awaken" is considerd one of the best prog epics probaly becacause of its staring section, the miidle and the end of the song is not as great but overall the song is very beautiful and flows very nicely. (9/10) "Parallels" is known for its organ solo that was recored in a chruch is Europe by Rick Wakeman this is the only this thing that sets it apart from most other 5 miunte prog songs, and the guitar playing and lyrics. (8/10) The Tital Track "Going For The One" is not all that amazing and it reminds me too much of a surf song. But other section can "mute" of that feeling. (8/10) In summary I will give this five stars as the songs fuse well togeather making this a excellent adventure.
