Make that two. A clear winner in my book.

I voted for Cut From the Stars. I love all those songs so I voted for the one where you can hear Billy the most :P

I think that's the same for me.
(I'd probably need to listen again to the Ice Bridge, to be sure. If not, it would definitely be second.)

It was a tough choice for me between Into the Storm and The Ice Bridge 😕:

The Ice Bridge
Into the Storm
Cut From the Stars
The Game
To the Moment

Guess I'll be the one vote for The Game then. Has the most memorable melody, and works most successfully as a solid piece of songwriting. You could play it with one guitar and a vocal, and it would still hold up. The other songs are more about arrangement, but the base ideas are not as good, so it's style over substance, and the playing that sell them. Just my opinion.

Great pop song. If it was say, Bon Jovi, or Adelle, or The Weekend singing it, it could be a hit.

I like all of the others, mind you, it's just that they are all songs made enjoyable to me by the fact that Steve, or Chris, or Alan play on them or whatever. If these were all songs from some other artist, The Game is the only one I would listen to more than once.

Edit: this is also why I think The gift of love is such a knockout. The basic melody and nugget of the song is stellar AND it has the big-scope Yes arrangement stuff going on as well. A perfect Yes track. To me anyway.

Like the opening post for me too.
I’ve also indicated the gaps between the lot.
The Game might be the most complete pop song, but it’s still rubbish…

I'm gonna go thus:

Ice Bridge
Into The Storm - these two are interchangeable for me, so today its Ice Bridge, though I'm a large fan of the original Fly From Here

Cut From The Stars - haven't spent as much time with this one since its new but dig it a lot. Glad to hear more Sherwood bass.

To The Moment - kinda 'neo-prog' sound, listen to Oliver's 'Marillion'ish synth solo, and then there's Benoit's lower voice register. Decent cut.

The Game - I put this last because I like The Game in its original form as Gift Of Love better. The Game should have been released on a live album too.

Into the Storm.
All the rest equal….

[Sam I Am]

Into the Storm for me - and it isn't even close. The rest are mediocre at best.

Into the Storm, no question: best song on the album, and a real highlight of the post-Magnification era.
To the Moment would have been my second or third favourite song on a Squire/Howe/White/David/Wakeman album, so that comes next.
Cut from the Stars is next: it's not the best song on MttS, but it's a solid opening track, representative of the album-to-follow's strengths and purpose.
The Ice Bridge: hasn't aged well for me, it seemed dated and a bit silly at the time, and though I thought at the time it might be a good opening if the album that followed was a more narrative concept album, well, that didn't pan out, so it seems to go nowhere.
The Game: just a bit too yacht rocky on a yacht rock album. I won't skip it if it comes on, but I sure don't seek it out, either.
