Rating:
Second album in 72 from Yes, the progression was heavier on "Fragile" than on "The Yes album" and by this time they've sunken deep into weirdness, the true nature of progressive music, although somehow they always manage to stay on the melodic path so the music never gets too weird if you know what I mean. This album is way more solid than "Fragile", maybe not so strange since there's only 3 tracks here (when progressive bands make long tracks it usually means they're great and that's the case here).
Another solid album from these prog giants, just not as good as "The Yes album" or the two coming ones. Simply a great record, buy it by all means.
