My feelings exactly.

"That, That Is" from "Keys to Ascension" (1996) is better than any track from "Fragile"))

I don't think so.

For me The Yes Album, Fragile and Close To The Edge are a single thing. I can listen to them three in a row and I feel them like a triple LP
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I've always regarded 'Fragile' as a nice little EP undermined by the solo tracks. In that sense, I definitely feel it is overrated when compared to masterpieces such as CTTE and Relayer. Just my .02.
