3 stars A masterpiece? I think not

It's okay Close to the Edge has it's moments, but overall is long and boring. It's interesting the first few listens, but seems to be mostly unpleasant sounds.

And You and I is the worst album on the track. It just outright boring. There is maybe a minute total in this song this is interesting to me to hear it. The first few times I heard this album this song just got tuned out. When I actually seriously listened to it a few times, I was in shock that this album was #1.

Siberian Khatru, on the otherhand, is one of the best ever Yes songs. Its a good listen, also the shortest song on the album unfortunately. The complexity is there, as it is in the first two tracks, but this time the song sounds good.
