Yes: The Yes Album

I was looking forward to hearing this again. I think of this as the point in Yes's lifecycle where the ambition was emerging but the affectation hadn't yet taken over. And I remembered enjoying several of the songs from the album in their live versions almost exactly two years ago.

But on this listening it's the dippiness that dominates my impression — even though I'm a big Jon Anderson apologist and this is far from his/their worst.
