5 stars This album has been rated too many times, but I still wanted to do it!

Firstly I have to say that the album's best thing is, that it is fairly balanced, only few bad moments (notice the beginning of CTTE). And the worst thing: It's too god damn short so I wouldn't take it to the desert island...

Close to the edge: 10/10 - "The best song of prog", well not to me, but still this deserves high ratings because of Jon's, Howe's and Wakeman's teamplay. Everything is in balance.

And You And I: 9.5/10 - A beatiful beginning, a slightly boring moments in middle and great end. This is the "calm-song" in this album.

Siberian Khatru: 9.5/10 - The guitairing and Jon's voice are something to remember here! Wakeman also has some moments here but they are not very impressive.

Still "The Yes Album" is the best of Yes<3
