CLOSE TO THE EDGE

Yes's best album, although "Tales..." and "Fragile" are not too far in comparison. This one of the most essential progressive rock albums which one could possess and I'm not hesitating at all to reward this a masterpiece rating.

"Close to the Edge" 10/10 This is my favorite Yes song and completely blows me away each time I hear it. I could not describe this song in words.

"And You And I" 10/10 A spectacular subsequent composition; Wakeman and Howe are shining here but the whole band contributes and helps to create another one of their best songs. Fantastic.

"Siberian Khatru" 9/10 This was the first Yes song I ever heard and is the most accessible at first listen; it is a great song but sitting next to the other two songs cannot be awarded a 10/10. Although that is true, it is a great finishing song which wraps the imagery put forth by the mood and lyrics.
