Look at how bleedin' awful my copy of the sleeve is. Terrible glossy finish which is bubbling and warping...I can never understand why people prefer glossy anything over matte. Matte is where it's at. Feel free to make a T-shirt with that slogan.If someone says "prog rock", the first band that springs to mind, and the one that typifies and embodies the genre the most is Yes.
I'm still pretty green, I actually thought this set, from 1972, was their first album, but it's their 5th.
Most people of a certain age probably remember the Yes song "Owner of a Lonely Heart" from the early 80's. This album isn't anything like that. Long, meandering suites ranging from pastoral acoustic dreamscapes to furious and frantic nimble noodling, it's diametrically opposed to Louie Louie. It might not be the best choice for kicking off your Saturday night shindig, but if you're alone at home nursing lumbago and drinking tea on a Monday morning, it might be just the ticket.
