I don't want to listen to grotty toilet music 😭

Never particularly liked Sympathy for the Devil, so this album had no chance

Why did it give me this so soon after Fragile? 😭

Another absolute classic from the lads. Yours Is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper easily make it a 5 and the other songs only add to the experience

My mum said she bought this album when it came out so I had to give it a 5. Love you mum 😊 (It's an excellent album as well)

Really fun album, I'm interested in hearing what else these guys have done

Karma Chameleon is firmly in my top 10 least favourite songs and giving it anything higher than a 1 wouldn't sit right with me.

Do I actually attempt to write a nice review for what's basically my favourite band of all time, or do I just give it a 5 and call it a day because I haven't got a clue about how to review music? I swear, they could've made a completely unlistenable mess of an album and I'd still slap a 5 on it just because it's Yes. I don't think I'm the best person for giving well-constructed feedback on this, it's just good.

I will say though, there's absolutely no need to be using the nasty deluxe edition album cover, I'm tempted to knock a point off just for that 🤢

UPDATE: The nasty deluxe edition album cover is gone! I can add a point back on now. 6 stars out of 5

This is another one of those albums that I originally gave a 4, but upon revisiting it I had to give it a 5. You can't make an album featuring the Mellotron, harpsichord and some delightful little organs and not expect me to love it.

I'm a bit miffed Speaking in Tongues isn't on here (I don't think?), but this is still an incredible album, definitely worthy of a 5

Incredible album. I never want to listen to it again.

Who's that guy complaining that this is like Pink Floyd meets Monty Python, as if that isn't the funniest thing ever? People need more joy in their lives 😔

Cool ass album cover

Originally gave this a 2, although I never ended up finishing it. Now that I've actually finished I can see I wasn't missing out on much

There's one good song and then a bunch of noise, but that one song is pretty good...

I think more bands need to have a whimsical improv section in the middle of their albums

The way people talk about this album on the subreddit, I was expecting it to be a complete masterpiece. It's kinda weird at the start which I like, but then I started to lose interest towards the end. Slightly disappointed.

UPDATE: I've come back 7 months later to change my mind after listening to it again. While the second half of the album still doesn't really interest me and I don't particularly like the guy's voice, there's just something strange about this album that pulls me in. Really, it's more like a 3.5 now, but I'm feeling nice so I'll round it up.

Good music if you need to get a headache

Originally gave this a 4, but had to give it a 5 after listening to it again. It's so delightfully strange and you never know what to expect from one moment to the next

I feel bad giving Dolly a 2, but this just really isn't my kind of music

I'm getting Bob Dylan flashbacks... 😟

Having this on in the background while you do something else is probably the best way to listen to this kind of music. I could never see myself giving it a 5, but it's pleasant enough as background noise
