Like the Yes albums of the 1980s, this project is best heard in it´s own context, not in view of all that came before. The addition of Royce Jones and David Cutler-Lewis improves the level of creativity which is often lost as bands develop, normally resulting in a less homogenous sound throughout the album. I must admit I was quite disappointed with this album, in the wake of their first two efforts. "One-Eighty" is a definite departure from their prog-rock beginnings, although some echoes of their earlier style can be heard in "Kamikaze" (sung, incidentally, by Joe Puerta, the principal vocalist on the first albums). Hopefully, this album suceeded in bringing new listeners to their earlier music, as was the case with listeners to Yes´ "90125" and "Big Generator". All in all, not a bad album. Worth buying.
