"A Yes album in all but name - shame that there's no Chris Squire, but this is a hell of a lot better than the jarring car crash of 'Union'. The 80s weren't too kind to Yes, but bookended by this and Drama they just about survived the decade."  Reply

"Post-punk mosh pit meets the euphoric Rave dancefloor. Records that take pride in comparative dreariness always hit the spot for me, and this is an ecstatic new take on those themes. It’s hard to understate how much I love both the post-punk and the Acid House influences this album draws from, an..."  [+]  Reply
