Welcome to sputnik. You should connect to the community, considering how much it likes prog rock!



I gave your review a proof-read so you can correct minor typos. English is not my first language either so maybe there's a few duds here and there. Here we go:



"Even a man, who became a progressive rock legend, Wakeman, was forced to leave the band soon afterwards he has criticized the album too."

-It should be either "leave the band soon after he criticized" or "leave the band and soon afterwards he criticized". Either way, since he criticized it soon after something happened, it should be "criticized", not "has criticized".



"Yes inspiration for the album was Paramahansa Yogananda’s book, "

-Missing an apostrophe: "Yes' inspiration..."



"The book describes texts which not only care about religion and social life, "

-"Care" should be "discusses" or something like that.



"However, remembering that we are talking about Anderson."

-Should be just "remember". Also, the same can be said about most artists if they take music seriously -- the whole "he's interested in the book" -- so this tidbit is kinda pointless.

"So, this new work is an 80 minutes double album around a set of things"

-Try not to use the word "things", challenge yourself and pick up a dictionary, I'm sure there are better words to describe what you're trying to mention. In this case, how about "themes"? They're themes, what the book discusses.



", the differences among the four movements serve to create an even grandest and uniform work as a whole."

-Should be "grander".



"filled to the brim with ecstatically melodies."

-Should be "ecstatic".



"The third movement, “The Ancient”, is a reference to other civilizations long past,"

-Should be either "long gone", or "from a distant past".



"all of these past peoples"

-Should be "people from the past".



"we can return to the state of goodness which we were"

-Should be "goodness in which we were".



"it stands as an important turning point in progressive rock music and Yes history."

-Missing apostrophe (') after "Yes".



Hope I was of help!

album is a bombastic, overblown, utterly cringeworthy pile of shite, but this is a pretty good review

This album is decent, but I've only managed to do two complete listens.

It's bloated and has way too much filler.

If there was any doubt about the controversy of this album, just see the comments about it on this review. I'm also one that loves the album. However and despite that, your review is really good e210013. So, have a great pos.

The first 3 minutes of Revealing Science of God alone puts this above average.

The beginning of The Ancients is amazing, but the rest of this is bland as hell
