quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

The title track has that challenging harder fusion approach perhaps. I think overall it is its own animal. Wakey gets to do his own thing a bit more on Parallels and Awaken. Howe becomes slightly marginalised excepting Turn of The Century so that's his thing. It feels like a band in flux and without a direction. Possibly their most eclectic album and was a point at which anything was possible,

I surely become more and more fond of Fragile, and uplifted too - but I prefer listen to the second half first.

Fragile and Close to the Edge for me. I'm not sure which I would choose for the third album.

Going for the One is imo one of Yes' weakest albums. I find Topographic Oceans to be a way way superior work.

On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.

I agree. Yes has much weaker albums than GTFO though.

I disagree here. I've always liked 90125, I like this album even more than GTFO tbh.

I've noticed that on the rate your music website there seems to be a lot of people who don't really appear to be prog fans who have TYA, Fragile and CTTE as four or more star albums. Why just those three? I'm not sure but maybe they have some sort of hipster following. Those folks are really missing out though by not listening to relayer also.

It's all a subjective matter of opinion, and there is no right or wrong. I like all YES albums a lot (some more than others), with the exception of most of Union/Onion, and most of H&E, but it's like choosing an ice cream flavor. I do have a few "favorite" flavors (albums), but sometimes I like a different flavor just to keep things varied.

I noticed that. For me, TFTO, Relayer, GFTO and Drama are also at least 4 star albums. Magnification would be close. Without thinking deeply about it, Yessongs, Progeny and Symphonic Live would be live albums that would be 4 star or better releases from Yes. |

Ratings often beget more ratings. As stuff rises up through lists it gets more traction and popularity commonly. That said, Relayer has a 3.86 rating with 10,915 ratings, which is nothing to sneeze at. Going for the One does pretty well there too with a 3.61 and 6,101 ratings. I did not get into that album. Relayer is the last Yes album I care about, but I'm not nearly as big a fan of Yes as so many at this site. I tend to find that my tastes align much, much more with the ratings and ranking at RYM than at PA. And I have discovered so much amazing to me music thanks to their charts. One thing someone complained about here was how beloved Radiohead is in its all years /all genres top charts. But that site got started when Radiohead was massive, gained lots of ratings then, and, well, I love Radiohead too. EDITed to fix two typos. And by the way, lots of fans of progressive music and experimental music there, but it does not have nearly the percentage of Symphonic Prog (and related) music fans as here. For instance, one of my fave bands, Swans, gets lots of attention in the charts there, whereas here it is more niche. Neo-Prog shows itself to be way more popular here than many of the more experimental, and far out/ out-there acts included in PA do at RYM. I feel like PA is more conservative commonly with an emphasis on less quirky and more melodic music often. I think there's lot of innovative and adventurous music that gets lots of love by many who rate music at RYM. But it does get lots of raters. Edited by Logan - 19 hours 22 minutes ago at 12:15 |
