5 stars When you listen to this album, it's not quite got that Yes sound that everyone knows and loves. We've got Peter Banks on Guitar who's really great on here as well as the whole line up but not as great as the line up with Rick Waken & Steve Howe for numerous reasons.

A lot of the elements are present but not all of the elements are present, and there are also a lot of cover songs on here but for me it ranks high because Bill Bruford really puts a stamp on the music with his drumming having the influence of Jazz which is so important but also his approach to the sound on where and how he plays & hits the drums with his phrasing which made him the backbone of the band.

Brufords playing on this is really incredible for the late sixties man. He has that Jazz influence and is really fusing it with a Rock band and that's why it rates high in my opinion.
