After listening to Relayer, I now understand you signature, Metropolis. That Chaa Chaa Cha Cha Cha lyric is probably the coolest part in that song. It is actually kinda funny too.

To love Relayer; one must listen with an open mind and more importantly; listen to everything in the right context. BTW, its not random at all, id agree its their most experimental album, but its also the most carefully orchestrated: REDBAR: listen

At the first, was difficult to get in the album for me... Now, after several years of listen to it, becames a favourite from time to time (one of those you listen to daily for about a week)... The Gates of Delirium rocks and the entire album is hea

A couple of months ago, I noticed that iTunes had Relayer for less than three bucks (ninety-nine cents per song) so since I only owned it on cassette, I downloaded it and it was like hearing it for the first time.

I really think

As with most Yes albums, I had a really (and I can't under emphasize the 'really' part) hard time acquiring a feel for Relayer. Took me way longer to grasp it than say Fragile, Close To The Edge or even Tales...

I found Relayer noisy at first and somewhat difficult to get into, perhaps from expectations of Yes from earlier works which Relayer does not really resemble much (understatement). Also, I was much younger and less patient with music at the time I first

I've always thought of Relayer as the dark mirror image of Close To The Edge. For a long time I'd have said CTTE was the best Yes album but actually Relayer is the one I listen to most. I don't think Yes were ever so tight and focussed as they were in this
