After reading the previous reviews, I felt compelled to relisten to this album. I had not heard it since first getting it back in the late 70's. I recall it being not just a little disappointing, but an absolute disaster. Something by which to be embarrassed. I was not wrong. This is an album that can be best described by three words, which are and I quote: stink stank stunk. And I don't mean just a bad Yes album, but a bad album for anybody, (except maybe Styx or Journey or another of those late 70's crap bands). How can anyone give it more than a few stars??? It's trite; Don't Kill The Whale. It's ridiculus: Arriving UFO, Circus of Heaven. It's stupid: the fake live sounds in release. One OK song: Silent Wings of Freedom. Please, let's not make this out to be any better than the crap it is.
