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.

It's a good record, although I haven't listened to it in ages.

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