I find it difficult to understand why this is constantly rated as the best YES album. It is a short album with only 3 tracks. Admittedly, the title track is excellent and one of the best symphonic/progressive tracks I have heard, however the other two just do not work for me.

'And you and I' is an overlong love song that doesn't seem to go anywhere. 'Siberian Khatru' is more of a rocker but I cannot get passed the 'Yankee Doodle Dandee' bit.

If you want to 'get into' classic Yes, buy 'The Yes Album' or 'Fragile' and buy a compilation or live album for the title track 'Close To The Edge'
