Close to the Edge is an awesome album. I was just litening to the title track earlier today. This album is awesome.I'm glad to say that it is one of my favorites.

Close to the Edge: ***** This song is awesome. There's a mean organ solo and mean keyboard playing. Rick Wakeman shines in this song! The fact that it is 18:41 and the longest song on the album makes it fantastic. All the instrumental passages are great. The beginning and end is the same birdsong and keyboard stuff, making it a circular song.

And You and I: ***** This song has great acoustic guitar. It's harmonius during parts 2 and 4, and parts 1 and 3 are very good. Just like Rick Wakeman shined wth his keyboards in Close to the edge, Steve Howe with his guitar shines in And You and I.

Siberian Khatru: ***** It's not like the other two songs on the album, but it still is pretty good. The instrumental passages are still great. Even though it's the shortest song on the album, it's still great.
