It's okay Close to the Edge has it's moments, but overall is long and boring. It's interesting the first few listens, but seems to be mostly unpleasant sounds. 6/10

And You and I is the worst album on the track. It just outright boring. There is maybe a minute total in this song this is interesting to me to hear it. The first few times I heard this album this song just got tuned out. When I actually seriously listened to it a few times, I was in shock that this album was #1. 3/10

Siberian Khatru, on the otherhand, is one of the best ever Yes songs. Its a good listen, also the shortest song on the album unfortunately. The complexity is there, as it is in the first two tracks, but this time the song sounds good. 9.5/10

total: 18.5/30

Fragile & The Yes Album are better listens. But this is a must listen for any prog/Yes fans.
