I would also consider that Yes's heaviest album.

Much as I loved 'Gates Of Delerium' and 'Sound Chaser', 'To Be Over' was the song that completely and totally kicked my ass. What a great track. On a great album.

Hearing him; yet his hintings of disaster
Shamed me to valour, as a hind may be
Bold in the presence of an honoured master."

Relayer is an album thatgave me a lot of work to understand, if I had to compare with a Genesis album I would go with The Lamb, even when it's a single album and not conceptual, but both are really complex and are something totally different to theclass

Definately one of Yes's crowning jewels, as are every album from 71 to 77 (The Yes Album to Going for the One, I'm not 100% sure on the exact years) that they made.

I find Relayer absolutely fantastic. Better than any other Yes album I have (I'm yet to buy Tales, though). An absolute five star album in my book.

I also think it deserves a suggestion, but the album caught me with sound chaser. Great album, and around here you can get it for about 8$ canadian, no reason not to.
