Perfect! Relayer is sort of a Close To The Edge for the more hardcore Yes fans, it's very inaccessible but just as rewarding. The opener and epic "Gates Of Delirium" is progressive rock wankery at its finest! The instrumental section that lasts ~8 minutes is enjoyable and entertaining from beginning to end, and each musician has a moment to shine in it. The ending is one of the most sweet things Yes has done. Sound Chaser is a jazzy and experimental track with a pretty lengthy guitar solo around the middle that works well. To Be Over is a ballad similar to And You And I and works as the closer for this masterpiece.

Perfect work!
