Segue Myles Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'm 'happy Segue enjoys Close to the Edge now. I remember he wasn't exactly jumping up and down for it, lol Mick It has so much depth and the first listen I wasn't really focusing enough on it to get the sense of it. But CTTE-Relayer is pretty much the greatest album trilogy ever. And I see them as a trilogy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len(songs) Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 So how would you all rank their long-form (I.e. >15 minute) tracks? For me: 1. Gates2. CTTE3. Revealing4. Awaken (It's not a whole side but it still counts)5. Ritual6. Remembering7. Ancient 8. Fly From Here (if it counts, since it's indexed as seperate tracks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hope you all don't mind me jumping in with my own scores: Yes: 5/10 TIme and a Word: 6/10 The Yes Album: 10/10 (I actually prefer the studio version of Clap, without the audience. It disrupts the vibe—odd criticism, I know, lol.) Fragile: 8.5/10 (I love Roundabout, but it's Yes's Tom Sawyer—heard it a million times. Heart of the Sunrise and South Side of the Sky are outstanding, but both at times feel a bit overlong, blasphemy, I know. The rest is just fine; Long Distance Runaround is a great pop tune.) Close to the Edge: 10/10 ( My favorite album of all time. It changed me.) Tales...: 9/10 (Took me a while to connect with it, but I love it. Revealing Science... and Ritual are masterpieces.) Relayer: 8.5/10 (Great album, but for whatever reason it's rarely the first Yes album I take off the shelf when I get on a kick.) Going for the One: 8/10 (I actually think this album is overrated among folks here. Duck and cover...) Tormato: 7/10 (Haven't listened to this recently enough to be confident with this score, however.) Yessongs: 10/10 (Absolutely stunning live album. Among the best live albums all time.) The rest I either don't care for what I've heard, or I haven't listened enough to develop a strong opinion. Based on my scores, does anyone have a suggestion for an album I need to explore more deeply, or simply give a chance? I've seen Magnification mentioned as a relatively strong album....? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, based on your criteria: CTTERevealingRitualGatesAwakenRememberingAncient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Just reporting in......I listened to Tormato......I stand by my first statement. After the Yes album, CTTE, Relayer, and GFTO. this is a few steps down. Onward is pure beauty though. I think GFTO was honestly the End of classic Yes.

From Drama, I think I've only heard Tempus Fugit. And from 90125, I've only heard the singles. I'll check out the rest of these albums. Thank you for your recommendation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Used to do homework in high school to Tales. There is something about that album that just sounds right to me. I put the whole thing on during a long drive at the beginning of this month. It never grows old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
