I don't think I listen to FFH more than a couple of times. Same with their last album. A chore to listen to. 
Fly from Here will be my next featured Yes album, so you'll probably want to skip that thread. Smile 

I'll give the album another chance and get back to you. But don't get upset if my opinion remains unchanged. 

gave it a try and it's worse than i remember, just two listenable songs. Ermm

I like FFH. It is basically leftover ideas from Drama as the main suite was written by Horn/Downes (and Yes had played it live before FFH was recorded) but Drama is a great album so I don't see the problem there.
