2 stars Still classic Yes line-up (and Anderson is here as well), but the music is not same as before. Possibly, band is trying to find his way on new musical reality of late 80-s. Result isn't satisfying though.

Music is still really melodic, but instead of organic mix of symphonic sound and rock there we can hear symphonic pop-rock, and it's far not the same. Songs are less complex, more accessible, and often looks as self parody. Musicians are very professional, and Anderson tries hard there, but musical material is real disaster.

So, we have possibly Yes worst album , coming from 70-s there. Quality musicianship saved the album from being useless, but it's really far not these great music band played very few years ago. (Happily very soon same band with very different line-up will release one of their great album - "Drama").

Can't recommend this album to no-one who knows taste of real progressive rock, still not so bad release for pop-rock fans.
