A monumental piece of progressive music that combines architectural beauty with improvisation.
This is one of the band's early representative works after Steve Howe joined the band, and is a key work that established the band's musical direction. Characterized by meticulous structure and melodic development, it shows the origins of the Yes sound.
The fusion of acoustic and electric, the complex key changes, and the beautiful structure of the album stand out. Steve Howe's versatile guitar work is at the center of the sound, while Jon Anderson's crystalline vocals create a grand worldview. "Yours Is No Disgrace" beautifully combines rhythmic tension and structural development. This is a historic work that connected progressive rock with popular pop, and a masterpiece that determined the direction Yes would take from then on.
