It's been 50 years since Close to the Edge released, while probably the best overall Album, we got one that we think is better. Post them, anyone saying "The Quest" don't count

No doubt it's the best, but this ones my personal fav.
Daniel Bell
I really like Magnification
I'd consider it one of their last good albums.
Tales from Topographic oceans or Yes (Studio Album) are all interchangeable with me
Asher Adams
I obviously love their prog-heavy stuff, but their first 3 albums bring me so much joy to listen to. Their first album is so so underrated, amazing 60s happy rock. Starship Trooper has to be my favorite Yes song because of how good I feel when I listen to it.
Connor Sullivan
For me, as legendary as CTTE is, nothing compares to Relayer.
Wakeman's a fucking legend for sure, but with Moraz in the band they had adapted a much more jazzier sound, which for me took them into a whole new level.
Hunter Bailey
I like it because it goes harder/crazier. Plus The Gates of Delirium is a much more complete epic than Close to the Edge in my opinion.

love that end of story feel to the ending

Close to the Edge may be the most perfect song ever. Siberian Khatru, while still a good song, prevents the album from being perfect.

>IIIII GETTTTT UPPPPPPPP
Objectively speaking, why does their music sound so strange? I think I heard that they had their guitars tuned differently than the standard way or something idk i don't know shit about music theory
I tried playing it for my dad and he didn't get it and called it a cacophony. (He's more into speedy rock and regular melodies like Yngwie Malmsteen.)
Yes is definitely skilled though you can see it in youtube.com

>Yes is definitely skilled
They’re all literal prodigies at their instruments. The weirdness comes from the choice of texture on their instruments, as well as the compositions themselves being pretty out there in their use of harmony

Close to the Edge is such a perfect song. It keeps me interested all throughout, introducing new concepts ever minute. The weakest song on the album is And You and I though. Khatru is like a triumphant victory lap, I like that it ends the album.

>weakest song is and you and I
I used to think that but, in fact i thought that of most slow yes ballads. Now they’re soul soothing and more beautiful than anything
Aiden Young
That's fair. While I would still say And You And I and To Be Over are the weakest on their respective albums, they're a lot closer now than they were when I first listened. And after recently going back to Yes '69 I discovered Yesterday and Today which is one of my favorites.
William Adams
could be any of these three desu
Evan Adams
I remember trying to listen to Yes once, it just sounded like a bunch of notes thrown together without rhythe or reason. No songs, just notes
Nolan King
>generalizes the entire band to the first 3 minutes of Close to the Edge
William Cooper
Why do people leave out The Ladder when discussing Yes? It's not even a bad album.
Carson Barnes
What does Any Forums think of Tales From Topographic Oceans?
Aiden Taylor
>the greatest love song ever is the weakest song
Noah Gomez
final track is great, they should have edited the rest & made it 1 lp
