ANDERSON BRUFORD WAKEMAN HOWE

I consider this a Yes album. ALthough it certainly does not rank up there with FRAGILE, CLOSE TO THE EDGE, or even DRAMA, it is at least a big cut above the syrup of 90120 or TALK. The biggest weakness on here to me is "Teakbois" which I find just plain annoying and "Lets Pretend" which could have been pulled directly from a Jon Anderson solo album. This is not close to a perfect album, but I would say 2/3 of it is really good or colse to great. I don't listen to this as much as my Yes albums, though. I have a hard time making it all the way through. However, you have to give credit to themusical chops of all four members working here.
