GOING FOR THE ONE

Their last great album, capped by, IMO, their greatest song, "Awaken." I still get choked up listening to the soaring climax and gentle denouement. One of the most spiritual songs I've ever heard. It will be played at my funeral.

The title track was a nice, refreshing counter to the weight of "Tales" and "Relayer." "Turn of the Century" is a beautiful composition. "Parallels" works better I think live (see "Yesshows"). "Wonderous Stories" is a sweet ditty. But "Awaken" is a towering achievement that alone is worth the price of admission.
