I agree.  Handshake It sounds more cohesive and less noisy, and Howe's guitar cadenza is much better.

To Be Over. I don't really like the "Cha Cha Cha"''s in Sound Chaser, but the first half of that track is too good...

Wow. Sound Chaser is losing. How did that happen? I beginning to realise I don't have much in common with people here.

Only one track Wink
There are parts of Sound Chaser that I really like though.
At the end I don't like it much anymore, the part with the cha-cha's.
Wasn't it Iván who also mentioned that several times on the forum?
I feel the same way.
I do like the radical experimenting on Sound Chaser, though.
Gates Of Delirium and To Be Over are nearly  flawless, hence my choice.

Sound Chaser is worth just for the guitar solo.

Agreed. To Be Over gets my vote.

Indeed I'm surprised Sound Chaser is losing now. I thought To bo over would be the first to go, given the votes. However, I don't complain.

Sound Chaser is decidely different from the standard Yes fare, and the other 2 tunes are more typical Yes sounding, so I suppose that explains the vote, 
 
I too am surprised that members of a prog rock forum wouldn't be more supportive of a band actually doing something different, like Sound Chaser, instead of simply continuing in the same vein.

I think Relayer in general is quite different from the previous albums.

I agree. Nothing usual about Gates and To Be Over has an unique atmosphere never done before or since.
