FRAGILE

This is one of my fav album from Yes, it might be said masterpiece one in their early period. Surely I love this formation band, just like god from heaven!  There are some elements of musics, classic, jazz, rock in each songs. So colourful! It seems that they want to explore their skill, like in Cans and Brahms or Mood for a Day. Wakeman and Howe showed the brilliant experiment of sound and music. The tone sounds widely. Based from classic music, their musically is so strong. Bruford, as we know he is a great drummer, rock and jazz background, gave more the influence to all songs. We can see in Five Percent for Nothing and also Heart of the Sunrise. Hmm I want to say two thumbs up for this song. All of members gave their best skill, great combination, full of energy and powerful. This song has many parts, fluctuative tempo, and this is more important, great climax vocal from Jon. We can notice when Jon sang 'I feel lost in the city..' He reached the high level octave. So fantastic! Overall, this is recommended album from Yes. I rate with 5 stars. That's not too much I think.
