Siberian Khatru is the weakest IMO, but only compared to the rest of the album which is so good. CTTE is one of a small number of Yes albums where I like every song.

Alost perfect album, its so close its not funny, just sometimes, only sometimes the start of Close To The Edge drags but then it gets into it and its all redeemed. Does anyone else think that or am I alone?

I find And You And I to be a very boreing song, with Close To The Edge not much better. Siberian Khatru is the only song on the album that I really like.

to my ears, there's no such thing as "weak" song -- whatever "weak" means. it's a solid album in its entirety.

I voted... NONE, but alone because it is impossible to say as it is the song except for (and I underline except for) attractive or interesting.
For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

Close to the edge: 10/10
And you and I: 9/10
Siberian Khatru: 7/10 at best.

that siberian song didn`t do much for me but I like the rest, its not a perfect CD probably a little overatted anybody who says it is perfect either doesn`t get out much or has bad taste in music

My vote goes to 'You and I' because it's a really repetitive tune... maybe if it finishes in the middle was a great song, but the second part is the same thing of the first, and this is boring...

Because Wakeman repeating that accursed keyboard riff over 20 time annoys the hell out of me. I also don't like the ending guitar solo, as it doesn't seem to really go anywhere or do anything, but maybe that's because I'm always distracted by being angry at Wakeman.

A masterpiece of music period. This band is so good, and so few people appreciate them outside of the strong cult following they have built up over the years.
I thank web sites like this one.

I think it's a perfect, flawless masterpiece and one of the best albums ever.

SK is a weaker song because it doesn't fell as composed as the other two. They feel like full fledged compositions, while SK feels more like a straight ahead rocker.
Just my two cents.

CTTE and AYAI are both perfect. I feel that the studio version of Siberian really doesn't end the album off with as much of a kick as it should, but it's still a five star album in my book.

None of them are 'weak'. Some are just more awesome than others

I love them all but And You And I can drag a little even though it is still a splendid song. I love the choral part near the end of Siberian Khatru... da da do daaa do daa da da da ect. Can someone enlighten me about what exactly a Khatru is?
