COMMENT

This is Yes' love it or hate it album.

The album was the brainchild of Jon Anderson and is based on the Schastic Scriptures from Autobiography Of Yogi.
Many Yes fans regard this as the greatest Yes album ever made.

However, it caused much controversy, even within the band itself, leading to Rick Wakeman departing the band (for the first time) after the tour to support the album.
