I personally thought the opening song "Yours is no Disgrace" to be quite annoying, especially the beginning. Then you hit three perfectly written songs in a row; Clap, Starship Trooper, and I've Seen All Good People. After that its back to the same annoying incomprehensible music once again. Don't get me wrong, I love Yes, but I just hate when bands use filler songs to meet their 40 minute quota, please don't insult me with bad music. Pink Floyd very rarely used fillers in their work, In fact four flawless examples of this are: Animals, Wish You Were Here, Dark Side, and The Wall. The only reason I recommend this album is the fact that I am a big Yes fan, and their are three greats on this one; Clap, Starship Trooper, and I've Seen All Good People. RATING: 4 / 5 Also Try: Pink Floyd - Animals, Wish You Were Here, Piper, A Saucerful, Etc. Camel - Moonmadness, Mirage Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Trilogy, Tarkus, Brain Salad Surgery, Etc. Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick, Aqualung Yes - Close To The Edge, Fragile, The Yes Album, Tales Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Center, Myths and Legends King Crimson - In The Court, Lizard, Red, Larks' Tongues in Aspic Roger Waters - Amused To Death The Flower Kings IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEW PLEASE VOTERead full review
Yes, if you remember this group and like this music, then this version of the CD is a good one to get. Listening to it takes you back 40+ years.... Yes.

One of my all-time favorite albums. Great songs throughout. This was a college-days album and I wore the vinyl album out (along with "Who's Next" of course). They're music was very new and different. Along with ELP they were the leaders in this new electronic keyboard music. I remember the first synthesizer music I heard was a song by Dick Hyman and His Electric Eclectics. I still have the 45 rpm record but I can't remember the title and it's put up and I don't feel like looking it up right now, if you're curious you can look it up. Anyway I bought the record and took it to my electronics class and we built our own synthesizer in class. It wasn't like a Moog or an ARP but we could make some amazing sounds. Anyway that carried over to my college days and mu interest in that kind of music. Progressive rock I think someone called it. Maybe it was but to me it was just very good music.Read full review
Some of this old material reminds me of listening to vinyl lps in the early 70's and that feeling is priceless.
