Yes’ second album is the last to feature original guitarist Peter Banks, and also the last to adhere to the debut’s tendency toward elaborate covers of material by other ’60s artists. The swirling, transmogrified version of Richie Havens’ “No Oppoortunity Necessary” finds the band departing further from their source material than ever. A sweet, understated cover of Buffalo Springfield’s “Everydays” provides some valuable contrast to the predominantly broad, sweeping arrangements. Tony Kaye’s big, reedy Hammond sound is augmented by the string arrangements of Tony Cox, which push the band further toward the inevitable rock-classical fusion. On “Then” and “The Prophet”, Jon Anderson takes early, tentative steps toward the spiritual/mystical/ecological mindset from which he would draw often for Yes’ lyrics. The buoyant “Sweet Dreams” and the unabashed power ballad of the title track represent the remnants of the band’s grounding in ’60s pop.
