Christ, give me a break here. No, its not JUST Wakeman's absence, its also the unfortunate fact that the songs on a compositional level lack the oomph of their 70's material (the title track and In the Presence Of being prime examples). Lots of boom and bombast, yet completely and utterly devoid of the vibrance they had in their collective youth.

And as Crash figured out (unlike you) from my last past, yeah I don't feel Yes was really the Yes I loved anymore after GFTO (with Wakeman hitting the road and Anderson only popping up sporadically). Something was lost with the advent of a new decade, and they haven't gotten it back since.
