FRAGILE

"Fragile" is probably one of the most accessible prog albums ever made. With radio- friendly songs (at least, in the USA) such as "Roundabout" and "Long Distance Runaround", one finds it fairly difficult to NOT go to the nearest record store and pick up a copy of "Fragile". I consider this album their second-best output, after "Close to the Edge", with a clear sense of direction. No song is out of place here, as they are all excellent and without moments of weakness. "Fragile" should be one of the first ten albums that novice prog listeners should obtain. All the good things that have been said about this record on this site are certainly true and I am just merely adding a few words of admiration and love for "Fragile". A must-have for any prog fan and music lovers in general, as this album surely is one of the masterpieces of music. Do enjoy!
