4 stars So, here I am with my review. Actually I have mixed feelings towards Yes' music as a whole. They did great stuff in the seventies. But I have to admit that I listen to "Talk" more often than th CTTE. Overall this one is pretty good. The title-track is essential for progrock, but not the best longtrack of prog (IMHO this crown goes to SR by Genesis)...like the sounds in the beginning... And You and I is a good song, I like the middle section and the Intro and it also stands out as an example of a good progrock-track. Siberian Khatru gives me more of a rock feeling and is also good. So all in all it is a good and essential album...but not Yes' masterpiece ("Relayer"?). If you are proghead maybe you find your way through this album, whether you like it or not, but somehow you have to relate yourself to it... 4 points.
