 Topic: ""Weak"song on Close to the Edge
Posted: April 23 2006 at 19:14 |
First of all, this is not meant to be a negative thread, the thing was that y noticed that the majoritie in this site considers "And You and I" better than "Siberian Kathru", wich I disagree totally.  If somebody could give reasons why Siberrian Kathru isnt as good as the rest, y woud apreciate it.  Yes rulesss!!!!!!!

it's really lame that you added the (...you really have problems) after CTTE. All 3 songs are good so why can't someone like CTTE slightly less than the others.

All of the songs are great. Though I must say the title track is my favorite.

And You and I is my favorite followed very closely by Siberian Khatru.
CTTE is good but not my favorite Yes song.

I think all the songs are great on the album but I have to say that And You and I and Siberian Khatru are stronger than Close to the Edge, I think it's the country yodelling at the beginning (especially with Steve Howe's awlful voice) that brings the down a slight peg IMHO.
By the way whats a Khatru?

I never got into And You and I . I don't know why since most prog lovers love it. But I love Siberian Khatru and the title track

As you all now, and Im sure you will all agree with me, Close to the edge is the worst song in prog history.
Naaa...the whole album is PERFECTION

I love them all but And You And I can drag a little even though it is still a splendid song. I love the choral part near the end of Siberian Khatru... da da do daaa do daa da da da ect. Can someone enlighten me about what exactly a Khatru is?

CTTE and AYAI are both perfect. I feel that the studio version of Siberian really doesn't end the album off with as much of a kick as it should, but it's still a five star album in my book.
