When I first heard this album, I was blown away. Now that I'm more into Yes, this is an absolute classic. One of the most iconic progressive rock albums in history.

I really love the title suite on Yes's Symphonic Live album, but I've only given this LP about five spins in the half-decade-plus that I've known of it. It's alright, I guess. I far prefer

Oh my gaaawwwwwwdddd I love this album soooooo much. Yes is incredible, and this album is easily their best (though I'll admit, Fragile is incredible too). And You And I is probably my favorite Yes song (or maybe To Be Over, it's close) and Siberian Khatru is easily top-10. My favorite prog album without a doubt

Ahah me too, i want to like it more, but i remember everytime i listened to it i felt like the songs go nowhere. ...which isn't a very rational criticism btw... i'll give it another one or two listens these days and see.
