Close To The Edge has two of Yes's greatest songs.
Close To The Edge has three songs.
Their work after that has some highlights, like Going For The One, but they struggled for a few albums, lost some members, and got real weird with it for 80s new-wave. If you go through their discography decades after the fact (hi) then there's a real drop in giving-a-shit after the glorious nonsense of "Siberian Khatru." All three tracks are Beck-grade frisson engines. If you wish "Roundabout" was just the way the intro sounds, that's the worst song on this album, "And You And I." It's a really good song.
The band still exists, somehow. Steve Howe's the only remaining member from back in the day. Not an original-original member, but it's kind of a Danny Elfman / Justin Hayward situation. Only dorks know he replaced someone.
I'm one of those weird people who love Tales From Topographic Oceans.
That and Relayer are good solid albums. But they're not an orgasmic brain massage.
