I'll go with Poseidon. Fragile's one hell of an album, but I've always felt it was more like an EP. The solo songs don't really help the flow much. Poseidon is one of my preferred Crimson albums, in fact I think it trumps the more universally loved debut album.

I've never quite my head around ITWOP. I don't like the production to start with. The drum sound I find quite grating. The snare parts are very busy, as you expect on KC albums, but the snare is too dominant in the mix, and it becomes torturous to listen to. For me anyway.
Does anyone even know what I'm talking about?? Maybe it's just me, but I feel ITWOP is the weakest early KC album. |

Though Wake was interesting, it was a backward step from the expectations following Crimson King. On the other hand, Fragile was probably the finest hour of Yes.

Poseidon, simply because it's got fewer votes. Fragile is still a few notches better overall, but Pictures of a City owns everything on it.

Im hurting my own feelings - we are in the tough end here.
In the Wake is a wonderfull project, the piano !, Pictures Of A City, Cadence And Cascade, Cat food.
Fragile is my favorite Yes album, and i love those solos.
Actually it is a split - but i vote Fragile.

Surprised ITWOP has as many as it does, but Fragile will win, plus I added a vote to it.

It's easy to say that from a comfortable point of view 40 years after it was released... I think ITWOP it's a logical follow up to ITCOTCK, which was released just 6 months before and that's something you have to consider...
I'm not a big fan of Yes tbh, I really like Tales and Close to the Edge, but as someone said Fragile feels a little disjointed and some of the solo songs don't really help to keep the flow going |
