Both these albums have an average score 4.37 on PA.
What do you like better?

Rush - I never liked Relayer very much for some reason. It has moments, but overall not my favorite Yes album.

Good ones to put together - I think Rush were inspired by Yes a lot at the time, they're surprisingly similar.
I think Hemispheres works better as an album.

It's Relayer, but Hemispheres remains a fine and cherished album.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Two good ones. Both make my all time Top 20.

YES wins this round though.

Rush - possibly their best ever album.

Exactly. Two wonderful albums. But Hemispheres is just a tiny bit more wonderful.

Surely Relayer.

Hemispheres, in my opinion, is overrated.

Relayer is overrated.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)
