Five songs that are frequently cited as weak links, masterpiece-ruiners, utter crap, etc. Pick which one you like the best. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

Pigs on the Wings is good. Providence on the other hand makes my ears bleed.

We Have Heaven is one of the best tracks on the album :/ |

Pigs on the Wing is superb in its context, I think, and gets my vote. Great to have those two parts bookend the album (hardly a weak link, it helps tie the whole thing together for me). We Have Heaven I really like. It plays a wonderful role in Fragile for me. After hearing it South Side of the Sky is that much more powerful (provides great contrast). A lot of albums where some call certain tracks filler or nonsense would be lessened by removing such tracks. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

Have always liked We Have Heaven so it gets my vote. As far as Providence goes, there were a few better improvs on that tour (like The Golden Walnut) that would have been a better choice  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

To me, We Have Heaven is not junk, it's a core track added on the album to display Anderson's singing skills and the kind of spirit that moved Yes at the time. -------------  One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D |

I don't think any of these are bad tracks at all; several represent sides of the bands that we don't often hear and they set off the more typical tracks well. My vote went to Aristillus, which provides a punchy intro to my favorite Camel album. I note that many of these are concise and short - just the opposite of the stereotypical progger's favorite tracks. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

I'm scratching my head on that one. Never heard the song referred to in the negative. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

I appreciate the experimentation with atonal music in Providence. It's very hard to follow, but as the piece goes on, it develops and gets more character - which is very well done IMO. Ultimately you could say: sophisticated composition in a different way. ------------- |

We Have Heaven and More Fool Me are considered weak tracks? I never thought of them as such. ------------- If you like King Crimson, come over to the KC Discord server! https://discord.gg/6AYBxBD |

More Fool Me is ok but out of place and I guess I think Selling England... would be a better album without it. The rest I like and wasn't aware they were considered weak links. -------------

Aristillus is not weak. It's a perfect intro to a great album. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

Providence. It may seem weak next to some of the other genius on Red, but it really isn't. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to. http://bandcamp.com/jpillbox" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp Profile |
