Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking the triumphant return of keyboard maestro Rick Wakeman, Yes reinvigorated their sprawling progressive sound with significantly tighter, more accessible songwriting on 'Going for the One'. The album remains brilliantly complex and profoundly epic, yet it radiates an incredibly uplifting, fiercely energetic melodic warmth that culminates in the staggering symphonic suite 'Awaken'.
