This is truly a great album. The powerful symphonics of "Close to the Edge" really define the basis of the next three studio albums. As if that wasn't enough they then produce the wonderful sounding "And you and I" and the quick rhythm of "Siberian Khartru". This is the second best album made by Yes. In was really disappointed when I went to see the 35th anniversary tour and they didn't play "Close to the Edge".

Close to the edge has a great beat and great vocals. This 18 minute piece would sound great with an orchestra working with yes on it as well. The addition of Rick Wakeman on this song (who is the genius behind most of yes's success) really makes this song stand out among greats of prog rock.
