Definitely a skipper, for me. The repetition is extremely annoying, and the singer's voice is irritatingly smug. Apart from "Moonlight Shadow", I don't really like any of the short tracks on the album. In "In High Places" Jon Anderson sounds as though he's drowning in a topographic ocean; the sparseness of musical ideas in "Taurus 3" is a bit insulting to "Taurus 2", with which, because of its name, it can't help but be compared; and "Shadow on the Wall" is just another soft rock song (which has the added annoyance of reminding me of Bob Seger, whose stuff I detest). A crisis indeed - of inspiration!
