FRAGILE

Fragile is the album where Yes finally found their feet and the first album of some truly great Yes albums. This album has also garnered a lot of reviews and a lot of words. My review will therefore be pretty brief.

All the great things about Yes mostly fell into place on this album. The vocal harmonies, the keyboards, the bass, fiery guitars and the long catchy songs. The Yes trademark, in short. This album also gave us some true classics like Roundabout, Long Distance Runaround, Mood For A Day and Heart Of The Sunrise. It also gave us some less great songs. But the positives by far outnumbers the less than great stuff here. In short; this is a great album and a forewarning of albums to come.
