Fragile. Obvioulsy the noodling **** is a waste of space and that Tell the moon in the mooon or w/e it is one is annoying...last time i put it on it took me about a month to get it out of my head but the four main songs are brilliant esp. Roundabout and Heart of the sunrise. Kinda album I'd like to have on while killing myself with an overdose of heroin. A band who's songs I like to listen to on a one or two off basis rather than putting on a whole album plus as I understand it Close to the edge, the song and the entirety of Tales are about religion and I hate religion sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooooooo much so that spoils it a bit. Why can't somone make a concept album about living in a bedsit in the red-light area of a ill spoken of Northern English town...something I can related to.

Funny thing is 'reasonably impressive' is a very Yes kinda thing to say. Like a polytechnic proff Yes fan from the 70's would describe something.

Dude, seriously. Are you high when you post?

Doesn't seem that much slower than the original to me...maybe it's just 'cause their old. ha ha ha

I think the phrase 'deal with it' is in order here.

No. Let me Dude, seriously you. What is the correct and proper...acurate way to post...just what exactly should I be saying in order to conform to what you like. Please tell me. I simply must know where I am going wrong.

I voted for Close to the Edge, by a whisker. Close to the Edge is my favourite Yes album, but Roundabout is my favourite Yes track and it is on Fragile. The solo tracks on Fragile are poor and waste valuable space.

Yes Tor-mato and Open Your Eyes (apart from the title track) are weak. I know because I spent hard-earned money on them. That's Yes for you.

The last Album they made was pretty good

I always thought Anderson to be a rather weak vocalist and like the new album, as he is no longer in the band.

Benoit David, from Mystery, is a Jon Anderson sound-a-like, but he's not in the band anymore. Jon Davison, another sound-a-like, this time from Glass Hammer, has replaced him.

I've been getting the impression Ki is a stickler for the rules. I'm also getting the impression that not employing proper grammar and punctuation sets him off as well.

Funny enough, I think I actually get what you mean in those posts, but more for post Close to the Edge stuff. On Fragile and Close to the Edge, the noodling really pays off...it got to be a little too much on Tales from Topographic Oceans. Relayer brought it back a bit, but they just couldn't recover, in my opinion.

When i put 'the noodling' I meant the breif solo songs on Fragile not the lenghty instrumental workouts as I think you thought I meant.

Ah, got ya. I guess I always considered Steve Howe's guitar playing style as "noodle-ish". I like it, but sometimes it's just too much.

Those piss me off to no end-- especially "Cans and Brahms". On the other hand, I really enjoy "Clap" and "A Venture", which is why I prefer Yes Album to Fragile.
