Album Notes & Community Reviews

Significantly expanding their ambitious art-rock sound by incorporating a full symphony orchestra, Yes delivered a crucial stepping stone toward their iconic symphonic prog identity. 'Time and a Word' is wonderfully lush and fiercely melodic, utilizing highly complex, distinctly uplifting orchestrations to enhance their deeply philosophical, subtly psychedelic progressive rock.
