“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

I have never been quite sure why this is one of my favourite Yes albums, apart from the fact I had it on cassette in the day and used to listen to it a lot when in my room as a teenager. One thing I do like is that each song, one per side being pure Prog, is complete and well constructed in its own right, and each has typical Yes highlights with sweeping keyboard and guitar sequences.
From Wiki "At the time it received a mixed critical reception and became a symbol of alleged progressive rock excess with its detailed concept and lengthy songs. However, it was a commercial success, becoming the first UK album to reach gold certification solely based on pre-orders, and received more positive critical reception in later years."
Well worth a good listen IMHO.

A rather good album this one, he has such a smooth voice, and a fantastic re-release SQ and dynamics. I would recommend for collectors...

Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.
