5 stars Don't need to say much about this one. This album is historically important, but also an amazing piece of music. Is it perfect? What is perfect? There is no such thing as a "perfect" album. Does Siberian Khatru go on for just a bit too long. Probably. Is this album worthy of five stars. Definitely. If you listen to progressive rock, you should own this album. If you are a Yes fan, you must have this album. Close to the Edge, the song, is one of the best, if not THE best, compositions that Yes ever put together. And You and I is bold and exciting, and yet delicate. Siberian Khatru has an amazing solo section featuring a harpsicord, among other things. Great stuff. In my opinion, this is the pinnacle of Yes' music.
