Compared to other Yes albums, Fragile seems to be a mixed bag of tracks. So, how do you rank the individual tracks on this album in order of preference? My ranking is: South Side Of The Sky The Fish (Shindleria Praematurus) Heart Of The Sunrise Roundabout We Have Heaven Long Distance Runaround Five Per Cent For Nothing Mood For A Day Cans And Brahms ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

Roundabout South Side of the Sky The Fish Long Distance Runaround Mood For a Day Heart of the Sunrise We Have Heaven Cans and Brahms Five Per Cent I wish I could get into Heart of the Sunrise, it just feels so messy and random to me.

| I must confess I haven't listened to Fragile for many years, I never really appreciated it because it was quite inconsistent. The tracks that I remember being really good were Roundabout, Heart of the Sunrise, Long Distance Runaround and Mood For A Day. |

If you were twenty years older I doubt you would have roundabout as number one because you would be sick of hearing it so much on the radio.That is of course unless you never listen to the radio.
 It's really the main reason I don't have it higher on my list. |

I try to think about radio hits as if I was hearing it for the first time with no outside influence. And tbh, everytime I listen to the Steven Wilson Remaster its like hearing it again for the first time.  ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

| ^Not to me. I think it's one of their very best albums. I like the solo bits because they break things up a bit and give the album more variety. While I won't say Fragile is a better album than CTTE I think it is more varied mainly because of the solo parts. |

I'll never really get the hype for this one fully. From a production standpoint it's amazing, but I don't really see how any of the songs compete with anything from the 3 following albums, i'd even say The Yes Album is far better all around. 11th best prog album of all time? Not sure about that, I give it a very light 4 stars. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

South Side of the Sky. Roundabout. Long Distance Runaround / The Fish (for me they are one whole song). Heart of the Sunrise. Mood for a Day. We have Heaven. Cans and Brahms. 5 Percent for nothing. |

Try hearing it changing Cans and Brahms with Wakeman's Catherine of Aragon (which features all of Yes from the time - except for Anderson - and I have read Wakeman wrote it intending to use it for his solo spot), and the whole album becomes more consistent, and the solo bits problem seems to go away (if it still bothers you, just leave out We Have Heaven and 5% for nothing, though they are too short to matter either way). |

I've had a similar problem with it, and it's the one I like least from the group songs of the album. Yet, check out the version played by ABWH on An Evening of Yes Music... it's my favourite version, and somehow I find it more enjoyable than the original one. |

GREAT SONGS Heart of the Sunrise Epic, incredible drumming, interesting middle section, though a bit noodly. Slightly edges out #2. South Side of the Sky Always clicks with me,
really like the Himalayan vibe, frenetic riff and lovely piano
interlude. Guitar tone is very crunchy - almost too crunchy, for my taste - but still not Relayer levels. You like it? Roundabout Smoke on the Water syndrome, I heard it a thousand times and I'm afraid there is a repetetion (or two) too many. Still a landmark song! The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus) The kind of fish that's always fresh - one in a million. My favorite "shorty", hands down. Long Distance Runaround Very memorable, would like to hear more of these from Wakeman-Bruford lineup. GOOD ONES We Have Heaven Sounds like an early draft from Olias or something. Loveable, but too short. Drum fills are <3 Cans and Brahms Okay it's not really a song, just classical excerpts, but I enjoy it! Dunno why it's criticized so much.Mood for a Day Gotta admit: I tried to learn it on guitar and spent TOO much time on listening to it (and practising). Never nailed the fastest part though. After hundreds of listens it got old... Five per cent for Nothing |
