Comments: This is Yes' love it or hate it album. Although the album
hit the top ten on the US Billboard chart, it also made the top ten in
a book devoted to the top fifty worst albums in history (Joining 1989's
"Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe"). The album was the brainchild
of Jon Anderson and is based on the Schastic Scriptures from
Autobiography Of Yogi. Many Yes fans regard this as the greatest
Yes album ever made. However, it caused much controversy, even
within the band itself, leading to Rick Wakeman departing the band
(for the first time) after the tour to support the album. (****)
