5 stars Very little I can add to the multitude of reviews here except to say that for me this is one of the true masterpieces of prog generally and Yes in particular. I've never heard music so complex as on the title track, where each musician's part is so diverse, but the whole ensemble just makes perfect sense.

Wonderful guitar from Steve Howe on so many tracks (title track and Siberian Khatru in particular). Gorgeous growling Rickenbacker bass from Chris Squire. Wakeman sparkling on keys.

Yes's finest hour
