Relayer, a true masterpiece. Gates of Delirium was composed totally by Jon Anderson, but it was credited to the band due to Jon's recognition of the effort the guys put in the arrangements. That´s the kind of gentlemen they are!

I like Tormato, so shoot me! Every person in the world can't think the same.

Giant by far....Relayer is not my favourite Yes album, it would have been more difficult with CTTE or Fragile

In A Glass House is a masterpiece, but Relayer is even better!

Relayer is my favourite Yes album, so that's where my vote's going. IAGH has some fantastic moments and the use of percussion is highly imaginative, but somehow it doesn't hang together that well as an album for me.

Glass house has lots of great parts, although the heavy bits at the end of Experience and Glass house are a bit dated. Relayer has some great parts too but it has a bit of filler also. I pick Glass house

I like both, but I like "To Be Over" way too much not to vote for Relayer.

Relayer pretty much because of "To Be Over" and "The Gates of Delirium."
In a Glass House is one of my preferred GG albums, however.

I think In a Glass House is just a great album from GG, not their best, but Relayer is phenomenal.

In a Glass House easily. Never really thought Relayer was all that special, and aside from Tormato is probably my least favorite of 70's Yes.

I don't believe Jon composed the whole album---at all---he had an idea---but if you've ever collaborated on anything---everyone's ideas make the whole--guess it depends on how you define compose---I know he likes to take credit for everything---I've come to realize humming an idea isn't composing---listen to most of his solo albums without Howe--Squire--Moraz---Bruford---Wakeman--White---and they are pretty dull IMO.
