As surprising as it may seem, I actually had this album in my overall top 50 when I first joined BEA. In the Court of the Crimson King was also featured and both got a lot of play when my brother was around. They somehow draw you into magical worlds of poetic strangeness and weird instrumental choruses. Siberian Khatru especially was a great choice jam for waking up in the morning.
It seems long ago now, but I can kind of see how my taste evolved into post-rock and ambient from these favorites.

The second-best Yes album, after Fragile.

A generally good album. Perfect for any Yes fan. Slightly better than Fragile.

Not as good as Fragile, but still a good listen.

Mmm dat Close to the Edge
For me, it beats Fragile because it doesn't use interludes which make the three songs more complete.

The title track is amazing, but I just can't get into the other two tracks.
