Doesn't make it a bad album. Surely you don't think The Yes Album and Relayer are bad do you?

I never said it was on par with their 70s stuff, but it's by no means bad. If you think
that album is bad, you haven't heard anything they've done from Big Generator up until that point.
But whatever, I love the album, different strokes for different folks.
