Yes propably last album that can propably be called jewel. After this they did Tormato which wasn't good and neither has Yes studio albums since it.

1. Going For The One : Starts with weird slide guitar which dominates the whole song. Different from Yes's other songs. 4/5

2. Turn Of The Century : A love song. Never has been my favorite. Has some good parts. Its not bad but doesn't give too much for me. 3/5

3. Parallels : Not too special. Actually guite "casual" Yes track that is not too good. Still I give it 4/5

4. Wonderous Stories : Nice "pop" song. Became top 10 hit. Short and nice, not too special 4/5

5. Awaken : There is only one word to descripe it perfectly a MASTERPIECE! Amazing deep mystic and religious song. This is for me the last Yes masterpiece song. Atleast I have nothing to complain about it. Amazing. 6/5 (no thats not a mistake).

4+3+4+4+6 / 5 = 4.2 points, but thats in by Yes standards. In normal music standarts it deserves 5 stars!

5 stars, This is the last Yes album that is pure gold.
