  Ahhh! FractureHeartHeartHeart


I recently re-discovered this album and now it's one of my favorites.  The three-in-a-row of Larks Tongues, S&BB, and Red are absolutely among the best of all prog.


Jumping on the band wagon at considerable volume. Absolutely stunning album.

On Relayer... it's a good album, no doubt about it, and Sound Chaser is amazing. Shame that To Be Over makes no real impression on me and the Gates is slightly downput by irritating lyrics. Gave it a 4, but the review was probably quite unpleasant for a 4.

Rhythm of the Heat, San Jacinto. All time faves......ahhhhh
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

@Rob - yeah, I gave Relayer a 4 as well, but I think that was mostly out of respect for the album. I think it's a personal 3 or 3.5 from me. And I've had that thing since my highschool years! (not that they were that long ago )

I'm sensing a bit of a reality morph. I listened to two Rush albums today, and loved them both.

It took me days Seriously, it is one of Yes's toughest albums to get into as well as Tales(for it's lengthiness).
I enjoy Gates of Delirium pretty much, but thinking about it as a whole, the 'Soon' section doesn't flow at all IMO, it just ruins it all, even if it's beautiful. 16 minutes of Gates of Delirium are brilliance and chaos while the rest ruins the flow, though not neccesary bad.
To be Over is IMO the most consistent song from the album.

^^^ To me Relayer feels cold and mechanical, nothing like the organic and lively feel of some of the albums that came before it. TFTO, CTTE and Fragile in particular. I just can't get into it. Some aggressive Yes is cool, but to me they're not that kind of band.
