Fragile is fragile, Relayer is thick.

Squire - The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus)

Withot these "fillers" the album would have been incomplete and only worthy a 4 star rating to me!
Exactly. If you took those "fillers" away, Fragile wouldn't be Fragile any more. They're what make it special.(Also, don't forget Squire's The Fish. :P)


How could I? Fixed

I have tried many times to "get" Relayer but alas I never get there.  Except for a few passages, I find most of it uninspired, almost tedious.  Cant lose with Fragile though.

Fragile. I believe as a whole it is a much better album. Relayer has Gates of Delirium which should be enoughm but not if it is about albums.

Both are brilliant, but I have to give it to Relayer as a more significant musical statement.

Relayer.

Fragile has some great music, but there's too much filler.

Fragile by a mile for me. Fresh, interesting and compact. Relayer for me just feels bloated and uninteresting.

But then, Fragile is really the last Yes album I like, so take it with a grain of salt. Wink

My favourite YES period is consisting of CTTE, TFTO and Relayer, so that should answer the question. Actually, I like The Yes Album considerably more than Fragile.

Fragile is a more pleasant and enjoyable album for me allthrough.
 
Relayer has 3 beasts which all are of high quality, but with the exception of To Be Over, the other two have certain flaws which makes it a less pleasant listen throughout, despite it's very high quality.
 
I'll go for Fragile.
