If i could, I'd vote for Endless Dream. It's about the closest Rabin-era Yes got to a proper prog composition. I don't mind most of this release, overall I think it's the best of the Rabin-led era.

Not sure I agree about the production quality though. Alan's drums sound awful on this to me - a great big sound yes, but it's very flat and has very little variation, sounds rather boring to be honest.

I actually really like this album and I think it often gets unfairly maligned.

Maybe not especially musically innovative, but, for me, it does succeed in creating a strong emotional connection with the music, particularly in the final track "Endless Dream", which gets my vote.

I feel the same. Not a bad album, though not very innovative/creative musical content on it. And yes, Endless Dream also got my vote.

I agree with the others that this is the best of the Rabin-era albums. I voted for Where Will You Be - the combination of fast percussion and slow melodies gets me almost every time.

This record is worth it for Endless Dream alone IMHO!

"I Am Waiting" - the best song of the Rabin era for me.

Endless Dream easily for me. My favourite song from this line-up, and really among my overall favourite ones from the band.

Again I think the album is better than what most people say, but Endless Dream is the definite classic off this one.
