This track fits well on an album where Yes attempts to find some sense of purpose in a world beset by climate change and COVID. So why’d they leave it off?

“Sister Sleeping Soul” begins as a rather unwelcome return to the kind of soft rock-prog that doomed Yes’ ‘Heaven and Earth.’ Then something great happens.

The Yes lockdown album bides its time, waiting for just the right moment to discuss the COVID-19 shaped elephant in the room.

With “Music to My Ears,” Yes continues to seesaw between song ideas that clearly sprang from individual members. That leads to an ego-driven mistake.

Ever-more-confident Yes frontman Jon Davison seems to be growing into his role with each passing verse on the solo-written “Future Memories.”

Two different people constructed Yes’ “The Western Edge” from two different ideas while working in two different places. What could go wrong?

Yes has finally come to grips with the idea of making an album without Chris Squire. But can they avoid repeating the mistakes of 2014’s ‘Heaven and Earth’?

My hopes and expectations have been satisfied by the release of ‘The Quest,’ an album worthy of the name “Yes.”

The modern-era version of Yes has once again shown that they can do something pretty. Next time, guys, let’s dare to rock.

The first recorded original work from the longest tenured version of Yes represents a touch of the past and a new beginning.
