Close to the Edge is a Prog Rock Masterpiece!! In my opinion all the songs are perfect, I must say I enjoy And You And I more than Siberian Kathru but I still love them all!
There is no doubt at all that yes is one of the leading bands in the history of Progressive Symphonic Rock and they really deserve to be, CTTE is an unmistakable piece of evidence in that matter!
 
So I really dont understand how you can say theres a weak song on Close to the Edge, in my eyes its a Miracle record and deserves 100% perfect votes from all of you!
 
 
I vote None!

Siberian Khatru, but even thats pretty good!

If could vote for the extra tracks on the CD, I would vote for their version of 'America' Sorry, I know thats a very popular song, but I cant stand the Yes version.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

None of the songs are weak at all... Everyone of them are classic prog tracks.

Each song is outstanding, in the sense of exhilarating surprise, at least, since the trio surpass the highest poises for evaluation to level on, even in inexistent preconceptions! Diverging from any, all tracks amaze the already jubilant crowd, though, analysts will view Siberian Khatru as a slightly inferior tune, in terms of composition and lyrical fascination, as its more repetitive and less accessible, given its duration. Nevertheless, it's not actually repeating an unnerving guitar flair, nor are those laudative words meaningless, in perception, by any means. The question was "Less spectacular song", I think, thus I consider the threesome equally grand, in its own demeanour.

This is why you should let Robin save the day...

And You And I, though the music of all three songs is good. It's not my favourite Yes record, but still, I like it.

Multi-storey car parks - they're favourite round here for people like you LOL

To the question -

If it means "which is a weak track?" then the answer is NONE - they are all strong

If it means "which track do I prefer least?" then it is NONE - I like CTTE best, then the other 2 equally

CTTE was my introduction to Yes (other than Owner of a Lonely Heart on the radioDead) and first time I listened to it I was thinking 'Why did I buy this?' but second time through everything clicked and the album is now one of my favourites.

Enough of my waffling.

None of the songs on this album are 'weak' however Siberian Khatru is 'weaker' than the rest of the album but only because the rest of the album is so good.

None - CTTE is as close to perfection as one can imagine. I admit that "And You And I" is my least favourit track, but that doesn't mean it's weak.
 
As to the meaning of "Khatru", I remember reading somewhere, a long time ago, that it was a word of Tibetan (?) origin meaning something like "so be it", but my recollections are really not very good.

I don't know what kind of music she creates, but she's definitely more pleasant to look at than your avatarTongue.
