4 stars This was one of my very first prog albums I became attached to.

After having more prog-listening experience, I realized the songs that only one member wrote, at a time, for this album, were quite musically weak. Still there is one exception : Steve Howe's Mood For A Day.

Roundabout's a classic though it's not that moving in any way. Compared to other prog gems, you might say that it is a song written for gaining popularity. "South Side of the Sky" is awesome, especially with Wakeman on board. Voice maneuvering on top of the piano in the second half of the song is simply brilliant.

My favourite song on the album would have to be "Heart of the Sunrise", because of it's power and grand ending. If you're into romanticism combined with ethereal strenght, this is a song for you.

Indeed a good prog album.
