5 stars This album has been reviewed many times so I'm not going to waste too many words on it. At that time the band was reaching it's peak and they created one of the timeless masterpieces of symphonic prog. The title song quickly passes by despite it's epic lenght. Not a dull moment here. "And You and I" has a nice acoustic intro, a memorable main theme and a rich sound. "Siberian Khatru" is also notable and more rocking than first two tracks. Overall, the music is well developed with a lot of diversity, variation and subtleness in sound. Squire's excellent bass melodies are remarkable but all musicians joined their forces in a balanced collective playing. I can't find a weak spot on this album. Absolutely essential!
