GOING FOR THE ONE

The begining of the end for Yes, this is the album when everything changed for them no Roger dean cover and a totaly diffrent sound much more modern and pop then thiere earlier albums, and its a step down from thiere string of masterpices that came before. Going For The One starts the album and its very straightforward and chatchy rock song great guitar playing form Howe as always, a good song and a fine start for the album but much lighter then anything they done before. Turn Of The Century a long beautiful ballad with good playing and singing from Jon, Parallels one of my favorite songs from the allbum with mighty church organ playing from Rick in the begining, very good melody and playing in this song. Wonderous Stories was a small hit for the band and its pretty much a pop song a good one tough, then the album ends with the epic Awaken the song that sound most like old Yes and one thiere best epics that culd have fited on any of thier albums, and grand final to the classic Yes years. In the end this album is very good but no doubt a step down from thier other classic albums. 4 stars.
