This is the 1st album from the english band Yes since 2001. It is also the 1st album to feature the canadian singer Benoit David after the departure of original and longtime Yes-frontman Jon Anderson due to Jon's ill health. David has for 10 years been a member of the Yes-tribute band Close To The Edge and is a member of the band Mystery. David's singing in Yes is a copy of Jon Anderson's.

This album is very calm and almost poppy compared to previous Yes-albums, which have included some heavier and more progressive music. There is very litte progressive music on this album, it focuses more on popish melody. That does this album quite onehanded and almost boring. Here and there there are some good melodies and refrains that is enjoyable but I would not buy this album. The foldout cover is really nice with its fantastic drawings of naturelandscapes.

1)Fly from here-Overture (7,5) A short intro that promises much.

2)Fly from here Pt.1: We can fly (6,0) Very light melodic poppy rockmusic.

3)Fly from here Pt.2: Sad night at the airfield (8,0) Wonderful acoustic intro to a sensitive and very melodic ballad.

4)Fly from here Pt.3: Madman at the screens (7,0) Pop/rock with some progressive elements.

5)Fly from here Pt.4: Bumpy ride (5,0) 2 minute Nintendogame-song that goes back to Pt.4

6)Fly from here Pt.5: We can fly reprise (6,5) 2 minute continuation of Pt.1

7)The man you always wanted me to be (4,0) This is not very fun...

8)Life on a film set (7,0) Mystic and pompous beginning and then poppy mixed with progressive weird rhythms.

9)Hour of need (6,0) Acoustic. Steve Howe plays excellent like always.

10)Solitaire (8,0) Only Howes guitarplaying in a classical way. Very nice. He really is one of the best guitarplayiers I have ever heard. Such technique and feeling!

11)Into the storm (6,0)

Score: 6,45
