4 stars No wakeman no Anderson, insted we get 2 guys from a band called "The Buggles" probobly yust what this band needed some new band mebers with some new ideas, what we get is a very strong album, and a step up from Tormato. This is very 80s sounding but its still has some prog feel, its a good mix of prog and 80s pop i whuld say. Starting of with "Machine messiah" is a great opening song and the longest and most complex on the album and the most prog one too and the first song i heard and what made me wana get the album in the first place, Howe play a cool riff heavier then ever before and good melody and nice tempo changes. The next song is a short litle number "White car" but pretty good. "Does it realy hapen" comes next and now it starting to sound like 80s pop but it has some cool keyboard riffs and its a very catchy and good song and preety heavy. "In to the lens(i am a camera)" very good this song sound like a hit and it was i think in a edited version, typical 80s feeling song but a good one, "Run trough the light" is my least favoirte on the album and the softest almost ballad its still not bad, the album ends with the cool Tempus fugit and yes it has an incredibly good bass riff probobly the hardes rocking song on the album and a great way to end. The new 2004 remaster got 10 bonus tracks and i whuld recomend you get this version since it has great sound and the bonus tracks are very nice and if you dont like em yust skip it. With this album Yes entered the 80s on a high note, its a strong album when you consider they yust lost thiere key member, to bad this line up dident record any more albums.
