The Revealing Science of God

I also like Ritual/Nous Sommes du Soleil a lot.

Ritual. Revealing has a sublime intro but seems to get in neutral about half way through before ending strong. The other 2 parts don't stick in my mind although I like Howe's noodlings on one of them (just can't remember whichSmile)

The Revealing science of God.

Love the others too, especially Ritual.


One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

I'm torn right here. I couldn't possibly vote for one over the other - all 4 pieces just shine, but if you put a gun to my head, I'd probably say The Ancient.
Alright then, The Ancient it is.

I'm glad people are voting for The Remembering now. When I first listened to the album, it was my personal favorite. I love the very beginning, sounds really amazing and the ending is supurb

This poll reaffirms my opinion that side one is really the (only)  one to listen to.

I did as well, and also because it is my personal favorite side of the album!  

When "The Remembering" rips wide open, there is no better Yes! 

Relayer....all the dying cried before you!  

Relayer....we rejoice in all their meaning!! 
Yes me too. Everything from "don the cap" onwards is just brilliant, one of my favourite Yes tracks.

The Revealing Science of God (Dance of the Dawn).
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

I can't vote on a single track. This was one of those albums where one track stood out initially but then another caught on and then another and the last. After many years i really got to know all the tracks intimately and find this to be one of the slowest burning masterpieces but nevertheless that what it is in my world. It is one that requires ridiculous amount of patience and listens to get there but i have found it totally worth it. Same goes for Relayer.

The Revealing Science of God is the most important track, but the whole double is just amazing.
Actually this is only Yes album I still listen regularly.

For years i would have said Ritual but in the last 10 years or so I enjoy The Revealing Science of God the most. Always struggled to get into The Ancient.

As long as I live I'll never understand the unabashed love for this tedious album.
They should have left side one alone but condensed the other 3 sides down to 7 minute long tracks each for side two and then it might have been an enjoyable prog rock experience.
