Dismissing this work as a copycat version of early Yes would be an awful mistake. Although it's undeniable that Tin Soldier owe something to such classics as "The Yes Album" and "Close to The Edge" (mostly during the instrumental bridges), their sound is actually a product of the time we live in. Echoes from adult-contemporary (Sting) and West-Coast (Buffalo Springfield) merge in a tight and extremely self-conscious pastiche that entrances the listener, while never pestering him/her with the daft bombast of progressive rock.
