TIME AND A WORD

The second album by Yes is something like the first one.The band still looking for their sound.They are trying to make experiment with this album,because of the orchestral arrangements incorporated in.There are some very good ideas,but as whole the sound is not quite clear.I think that this album is little more weaker than the first one,because of the fact the there are not fully completed song(maybe the last track Time and a Word).In the first album I think there are two essential songs(without counting the covers) - the first one and the last one - Beyond and Before and Survival.Here we haven't so good songs,but maybe the overall level of the songs is higher than there!Not a everyday album!
