You can't have ups without downs - you need the valleys to define the mountains, or so some conventional wisdom goes, I believe. With Yes, you need the louder instrumental parts to really bring out the quiet Jon Anderson moments. But those quiet parts are what I like best about Yes, and on this album there aren't enough of them imo, so this is my least-revisited Yes album.
Highlight: Your Move. Low point: Würm
