Very hard for me to see why this album is held so highly- The title track is decent- but the 1st few minutes of the song sound HORRIBLE.

The music gets decent when the vocals come in- but Anderson's voice fails to satisfy.

Musically- this album is pretty sloppy- they have some talent, but I don't think they show it in this album. I would have liked to hear some more PRECISE playing. Much of it us undefined.

Lyrically- I like this album- its thought provoking- and worth many listens.

Overall- Decent album- HIGHLY overrated, I don't reccomend CTTE for your 1st YES album-
