Cool album and it goes by really quickly. Have it, MIGHT have listened to it some time this year but now already have so another off (on) my list. Seriously, either time is going by really, really quick or this is a fast-paced album but it's Yes and it's one of those groups that you need to listen to closely to get every nuance, to get every feeling to get every....thing.

Man, I hate snow.  

Were you snowed in this week?  I believe this is the first week ever that I listened to one more album than you did for the week.

No, something is coming today. Just getting my hate prepared.
