Well actually i could. The title track is probably the most representitive track of Yes's 'Classic' line up. The only thing i do not enjoy about this song is the fact that the section entitled 'I Get Up, I Get Down' seems to go on for longer than it really does (I had to strech to reach thet conclution).

My favorite track here is 'And You and I'. Jon's vocals on this song are really beautiful.

'Siberian Khatru' is my least favorite song here but still great.

Sence i own the remastered version i will also reiview the bonus tracks. 'America (single edit)' is good, but not as good (or long) as the original. Ditto for 'Total Mass Retain'. The alternate version of 'And You and I' Is very different fron the regular version but (luckally) manages to hold on to the same feel. Ditto for the studio run-through of 'Siberian Khatru'.

Main album: 5 stars Bonus tracks: 4 stars Overall: 4 1/2 stars (but the main music is so good it warrents a 5 star overall rating)

Recomended. VERY recomended.
