5 stars I was 14 years old when I got Close To The Edge. Ireally loved the song Roundabout, especially when it was played on a real stereo. Not AM Radio. It has taken 10 years to fully understand it. So much structure with wicked changes in tempo and mood. A brillliant epic, love song and an all out rocker(in Yes Fashion) Of all progressive rock ( Every Genre ) this is the king. I just wish Bruford and Squire had more time together. I dare anyone to compare this rhythm section to anyone else. If I could take one album out my many hundreds, this is the one. Too bad they're so hard to understand, many people abandon Yes before letting it set in. I know I almost did, but glad I didn't.
