It's all perfect, but if there is a weak track, it's Siberian Khatru because the fade out is just a little too long.  And that whole Dah...Dah...Dah Dah...Dah...Dah Dah Dee Dah part is kind of annoying.

SK is a weaker song because it doesn't fell as composed as the other two.  They feel like full fledged compositions, while SK feels more like a straight ahead rocker.
 
Just my two cents.

I think it's a perfect, flawless masterpiece and one of the best albums ever.

A masterpiece of music period. This band is so good, and so few people appreciate them outside of the strong cult following they have built up over the years.
I thank web sites like this one. Clap

Because Wakeman repeating that accursed keyboard riff over 20 time annoys the hell out of me. I also don't like the ending guitar solo, as it doesn't seem to really go anywhere or do anything, but maybe that's because I'm always distracted by being angry at Wakeman.

My vote goes to 'You and I' because it's a really repetitive tune... maybe if it finishes in the middle was a great song, but the second part is the same thing of the first, and this is boring...Disapprove

that siberian song didn`t do much for me but I like the rest, its not a perfect CD probably a little overatted  anybody who says it is perfect either doesn`t get out much or has bad taste in music Wink

Close to the edge: 10/10
And you and I: 9/10
Siberian Khatru: 7/10 at best.

I voted... NONE, but alone because it is impossible to say as it is the song except for (and I underline except for) attractive or interesting.
For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

to my ears, there's no such thing as "weak" song -- whatever "weak" means. it's a solid album in its entirety.

I find And You And I to be a very boreing song, with Close To The Edge not much better. Siberian Khatru is the only song on the album that I really like.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Alost perfect album, its so close its not funny, just sometimes, only sometimes the start of Close To The Edge drags but then it gets into it and its all redeemed. Does anyone else think that or am I alone?

Siberian Khatru is the weakest IMO, but only compared to the rest of the album which is so good. CTTE is one of a small number of Yes albums where I like every song.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I don't know what kind of music she creates, but she's definitely more pleasant to look at than your avatarTongue.
