"Changes". [[spoiler:It's 17/8, phrased as (4+3+4+3+3)/8.]] "Our Song" also has prominent use of 7/4.
* VocalTagTeam: As befitting the Rabin era of Yes, Anderson and Rabin both assumed lead vocal roles in the album. Squire also has some foreground parts on several songs, such as the "Look up, look down" bridge on "It Can Happen". Although they're not quite as substantial as Anderson or Rabin's parts, he does provide a more noticeable counterpoint to them compared to what he had sung on most prior Yes albums (and a Rabin/Squire tag team may have been part of Cinema's intended direction prior to Anderson joining).

The album would also have an unexpected effect on the production team behind it. During the album's making, Horn and his sound team started futzing around with a scrapped drum part that Alan White recorded, leading to the "Red & Blue" mix of "Owner of a Lonely Heart". Horn and company enjoyed the experiment so much that they decided to make further tracks based on its template and the samples that they'd gathered together for ''90125''. Bringing in business partner Paul Morley, the team would dub themselves Music/ArtOfNoise, which would become a pivotal act in the development of {{sampling}} as a musical tool.
