Strange. This was the first album that i didn't like from Yes at first. But with some extra spins, i got a special care for this sound, and it suddenly became my personal favourite album of all. "We once knew so well"?

Masterpiece, not only one in progressive rock in general, but in history of music too. The musical evolution of the band reached the peak with this album. Great passages of organ and keys of Wakeman, the union of their abilities with beauty in their music... Hear by yourself!

THE album of Genesis. The creative force of the band, plus the marvelous capacity of creating sonic lyrics and songwriting makes Selling England By the Pound one of their finest works. Try Firth of Fifth or Cinema Show.

Transport the sound of this album to any pretty landscape that you mind can create. Try to feel something a little funny, maybe sad, maybe uncerntain. Think on this if you get the best night of your life. Maybe tecnically the best album.

The quality and production of the their songs on this album are in top shape. Some songs with beautiful melodies, some very nice and catchy, and the "medley" was a great idea. Too bad that The End didn't was the last song, but is a flawless masterpiece.

Um dos álbuns mais criativos e coerentes no Brasil, e ao ouvir o álbum, o motivo deixa de transparecer cada vez mais. O som miscelâneo e a alta qualidade das composições já são um fato para que o Clube da Esquina não seja um álbum monótomo. O disco vem com passagens incríveis do início ao fim, variando muito bem entre músicas com uma aura misteriosa, ora bela, ora depressiva, ora cativante. Sinceramente, acho bem difícil alguém não amar pelo menos uma música dessa maravilha.

Wow! Den extremt kraftfulla instrument, målade med vackra melodier, och med en majestätisk känsla gör Hybris är en av de mest imponerande ljudet av prog av 90-talet.

"When you eat right fruit you see everything alive
it is inside spirit, with enough grit to survive
If you think it's pretentious, you've been taken for a ride
Look across the mirror, before you choose decide" (It)
How they can create such concept of Rael and John, and put a story so-so like this? [First added to this chart: 10/05/2013]

Great song after another great song in a album that never tires you out IMO. Energetic and powerful album, for sure.

D'accord, la guitare, la mélodie des instruments à vent, le sentiment juste téléchargé cet album remporte un autre niveau. C'est plus facile que vous entendez réellement pour vous-même et de définir ce que vous pensez.

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart is rated in the top 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.8/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.3.

Você já ouviu a fase progressiva dos Mutantes (A e o Z, Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol)? O que acha? Apesar de não gostar muito assim de rock progressivo, eu ouvia bastante esses dois álbuns.

Cool selections, but a little 70s heavy. I'm going to check out your decade charts - it'll give me a better persective.

Muita coisa cansativa de rock progressivo, mas fora isso tem álbuns incríveis. A seleção de álbuns brasileiros, por exemplo, é maravilhosa.
