Arguably the best album from the 1980's era of Yes was actually a "comeback", released in the mid 1990's following a reunion tour. As far as new wave influenced prog rock is concerned, it doesn't get much better than this. Despite its high quality, however, it was doomed from the start due to bad timing. It makes me cry a little inside to remember that at that moment in time, almost everyone (myself included) preferred grunge.
Suggested Sample Track: "The Calling"
Recommendation: if you like "Owner of a Lonely Heart" or any other recording from the 1980's era of Yes, then you'd do well to give this album a spin.
