FRAGILE

I don't understand how people can give a 5 star rating for this record. When I first heard it I was full of great expectations about this record because I like 'Close To The Edge' very much (even if I think that the order of the songs was totally unesthetic) and I am a big fan of 'America' and 'Roundabout'. I listened to the songs and I dislike it. Much later I discovered 'Fragile' in the DVD-A section. I bought it because I thought that the LP would be better in Dolby Digital but I was wrong. Some Songs are really good ('Roundabout', 'Long Distance Runaround', 'Mood for a Day' and 'America') but the rest is just a bunch of fillers. Don't get me wrong... If a band would produce an record like this I would be lucky but YES was much better on other records ('Songs', 'Close', 'Yes Album').

After all I would say that fans should like it and it is a good addition to any neoprogressive record collection but thats it.
