What can I say about Close to the Edge?This was the album that made me appreciate music. I'm 17 now, and four years ago I didn't listen to music. I liked Aerosmith and that was pretty much it. I heard my dad playing Yes's America and I liked it so much that my dad gave me CTTE to listen to. I immediately fell in love, from the opening birds and river sounds to the guitar solo fadeout at the end of Siberian Khatru. Since then, I have listened to the album hundreds of times and purchased the vast majority of the Yes discography, along with hundreds upon hundreds of other albums. Now, four years later, music is literally my life, and CTTE is still one of my favorite albums. One could say that this album changed my life in a dramatic way. One would be right. Is this album that good that it could be considered lifechanging? Yep. No question. CTTE (song): 11/10- One of my all-time favorite songs. That opening guitar solo showcases every bandmembers musical virtuosity incredibly. I love every second of this song with a burning, fiery passion. AYAI: 11/10- I love this song with a burning, fiery passion as well. There are probably ten songs that I would give more than a 10/10 to and they are both on this CD. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. SK- 9.5/10- Nearly flawless, but not as mindblowing as the first two. Incredible guitarwork. 5.25/5- This is beyond a progressive masterpiece, beyond essential. Hearing is believing.
