Summit.

They reached a summit, and how. Yes is about illumination, epiphany, divinity, ecstasy, awekening, glory and lots of pretty things shining in kaleidoscopic dances. They want to blow your mind, to expand it. They want to bring you to space and navigate through giant nebulas and quasars, showing you the colours of an universe so big.

Everything here falls into place, making the same recipe even more effective, if a thing is possible. It's big, it's glorious, it's millions of dopamine particles slowly landing on your cortex, bringing tears in my eyes on a few occasions.

It's the same as Close to the Edge but with even more galactic grandeur, more gazing from the tallest mountain on Earth, more of cryptical concepts of ultimate Awekening. If I may add, they injected more finger-snapping moments as I may categorize this album as the most accessible (read 'girl-friendly') album of the first phase.

If you can tell your woman how much you love her in a Jon-Anderson-style (Turn of the Century), she'll be yours forever....or think you're joking. It's that impressive.

It's enough 'Divine' for me, my brain needs a flippin' break.
