When you consider the talent that was present in the studio, the output was not even as good as Drama. Wakemen said it was the first Yes album he'd been involved with where the producer and numerous contributors were on the page of "Yeah, that'll do" instead of "Hmm, that could be better, let's do it again" The first fhree tracks are memorable for me, although Lift me Up sounds like a cheesy John Farnham B side, after that the whole thing fizzles out. An album for the sake of it IMO, although apparently the tour was excellent.

A nice setting to make me vote for King Crimson over two of my long time favourite bands .

I'll vote for Trespass. Islands comes a very close second; almost toss of a coin really..
Union is horsesh*t.

Time and a Word by Yes would have made it a better contest. Union is not that good and doesn't bear comparison to two great albums in Trespass and Islands.

If there had been Time and a Word from Yes, it would have been much harder choise to me, because that one is my big Yes favourites.

I'll also have to join the Islands > Trespass > Union camp. I consider the first two to be masterpieces, both notable for allowing their respective bands to meander a little more than usual, structurally, and explore their gentler sides. Not so huge on Union, though.

Trespass, then Islands. Then Onion, but that album isn’t half bad.
