3 stars Finally, a dent in the greatness that Yes had been sustaining since 1971.

With Moraz out, and Wakeman back in, the first of many, you would think the output could only be good. Which is true. But in the year `1977, who was creating the quality of music produced earlier in the decade?...

The music is pretty solid, the title track has some funny slide guitar, Paralells is a great rocking song, a bit odd in the Yes repitoire. Turn of the Century is a beautiful peice, very emotional, but a bit too long. Wondrous Stories is the radio hit, but mystical and I love it. Awaken dissapoints me, being a bit corny and preachy, not enough meat.
