I think its pretty good. I just wanna talk about it with people, get some opinions

>>128125437 (OP)
It's arguably Yes' best work. I love the album, but I personally like Fragile better.

>>128125437 (OP)
great album without a doubt. The real challenge is listing the songs in order of best to good

Mine is:
1. And You And I
2. Close to the Edge
3. Siberian Khatru

>>128125454
i like Fragile a lot too, but CTTE feels more like a complete idea. But i also think from an objective standpoint Relayer is better than both of them. I do have a strong bias towards To Be Over tho, specifically for its ending

>>128125437 (OP)
It's the best album of all time.

>>128125437 (OP)
Yes, It's probably the only album that I think is flawless from beginning to end.

I GET UP

>>128125643
I GET DOOOOOOWN

>>128125638
Honestly i cant find a complaint other than it feels too short, but thats just because i wish Yes' Prog Era went for even longer

>>128125437 (OP)
Yeah I love it!! Had it on my car for like 3 years straight. I listened the heck out of it. My favorite part is the organ interlude in "Close to the edge"

No.

>>128125761
:(

>>128125437 (OP)
Title track is a masterpiece, other 2 tracks are very nice

>>128125437 (OP)
I really want a black shirt with a green gradient coming from the bottom like this but I've never seen one except on brazilian sites of questionable quality.

>>128125989
you could probably do this in about 5 minutes with an airbrush or something honestly,


just go make friends with a mexican and carry an "enough to pay, not enough to warrant getting mugged" amount of money on you

and you and I used to be my favorite track, but then I got really into the Total Mass Retain section of the title track and suddenly that was my favorite song and of course naturally I decided Siberian Khatru was the coolest they ever sounded so each track has something special in it. I do think its kinda silly to call it a perfect album because its just 3 long songs which kinda puts it at a massive advantage. I'd probably call Animals by Pink Floyd a perfect album for the same reason

>>128126243
I dont WANT to say its a perfect album because its only 3 songs, but when 3 amazing songs are staring you in the face youre kinda fucked

>>128125989
Just wear oxfords like a grown-up. If you're doing some intense work or just want to dress casually, a white or black t-shirt is fine. Band shirts are cringe.

>>128126405
you are such a fag youre barely even human. I want to hunt you down like an animal you little shit.

>>128125437 (OP)
Like? I think it's the greatest album of all time. Is it tacky and cliché to say that about an album from a relatively popular band like Yes? Maybe. But that doesn't change that this album is pretty much flawless front to back, a beautiful musical journey.

>>128126538
if it makes you feel better i dont think anyone below the age of 27 knows who Yes is outside of funny JOJO references. So youre still obscure enough to be cool.

>>128125437 (OP)
I sampled this album and made some dope ass beats with it like 10 years ago. It's a gold mine for samples.

I like this

kek when I was playing Close to the Edge at my pizza job my regional boss came in and was like "do you like JoJo?" and I was like uhh yeah I know about it but I never really watched it much and then he told me they used Yes on the show

>>128125437 (OP)
the singing is awful

CTTE is definitely their peak, I think they captured that energy again a few times later the one that specifically comes to mind is Tales From Topographic Oceans which is definitely a bunch of forced 20 minute songs but Nous Sommes Du Soleil has some really good parts specifically
>Hold me my love, hold me today, call me round
>Travel we say, wander we choose, love tune
>Lay upon me, hold me around lasting hours
>We love when we play
absolutely beautiful like the best parts of And You and I. Also Bill Bruford was truly a secret weapon proof being he was on both Yes and King Crimsons best albums

>>128125437 (OP)
Its one of those albums I remember vividly the first time I heard it. I loved old Genesis and Crimson but knew literally nothing about early Yes, so when I heard this it blew my head off.

I remember one time a few years later I was in a band and we were driving to a show and I made them listen to it. I was the only one of them not "degree in music" and none of them got it, which I found really hilarious.

>>128125437 (OP)
Top tier drumming innit

>>128125437 (OP)
The best album of all time, i even have the original UK pressing vinyle

Decent album, although I've always found Yes a little busy sounding in spots. Howes guitar tone has always been shrill dogshit and Wetton was a better bass player than Chris

Interesting attempt at making a concerto in rock-form. But not really anything special

Smh baka baka, hmpf!

>>128129563

>>128129397
Best album of all time is not some pr*g, its a recording of Mahler's third or 9th

Was waiting for this to happen, awesome

>>128129607
You think that guy is doing some reverse psychology shit and hates Senko actually?

>>128129614

>>128129427

>>128129712
This entire site is tranime induced brainrot

>>128125989
You shouldnt wear t shirts, they always look bad!!!!!

has prog always been full of weebs?

>>128125437 (OP)
i was always surprised by how underrated siberian khatru seemed to be relative to the other 2, its like the sounds of 6 different eras of talking heads albums in a 12 minute ride

>>128125437 (OP)
It's the only good Yes album.
Roundabout is full of filler but has great tracks.
Siberian K is the best song on the album and they should have added the America cover.

>>128131298
Beg to differ. Half the time when I heard this album brought up over the years it was anons stroking siberian khatru for how cool it sounds

>>128125437 (OP)
Great album, but i like Topographic Oceans more

>>128127316
You’re awful, Murray


Also @ OP, this is my favorite prog rock album of all time. Keep making posts about it. Thank you.

>>128131298
Siberian Khatru was my favorite track when I first heard the album. I was 14. After countless listens, Close to the Edge is perfect and I am always down to listen to it. And You and I is perfect, but I need to be in the mood for it. Siberian Khatru is meh.

>>128125437 (OP)
Yeah.

>>128125437 (OP)
It's great, but The Yes Album is their best
Yours Is No Disgrace, I've Seen All Good People, Perpetual Change and Starship Trooper all on the same album - unbeatable
