I think that the album has some nice ideas and every now and then flashes the old class of all musicians. Unfortunately I have no suspense, friction and dissonance which then lead to harmonious redemptive moments again and Yes have always identified for me. So many songs dabble quite pleased with himself and the world then. Much has something to flowery and looks something anachronistic like Flower Power Pop. The singer does his job really well and I miss John Anderson at any point. The keyboard sounds from Downes are sometimes totally kitsch, but then pack again well ... strange. Some songs will be apparent only after repeated listening, others are transparent from the outset. So in the end remain 2-3 good songs and some nice ideas. Not enough for more than 3 stars ...
