Two albums by two bands, why those you might ask, well, i dont know, just felt for it. Albums with long and short songs. Inspired instrumentalist and vocals. A spark of something alive and kicking is observed in both albums.
So which one is it you like the most. |

Fragile by about 1.25 star. Islands is the only KC album I might prefer over Fragile.

Over time fragile has grown on me and larks I’ve gotten tired of. I don’t think either are 10/10, but gotta vote for fragile on this one.

Fragile is part of the "Magic Trilogy" started with The Yes Album and ended with Close To The Edge. That's my choice.

Tough call! Fragile by the thinnest of margins and based on the fact that I've probably played Fragile slightly more than Larks

Fragile, by a reasonable margin. There are better KC albums.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

So close for me . I voted for LTIA because it needed some love but I could have gone either way.

Fragile......but as was said above...there are better KC albums that would trump it for me.

Larks' Tongues in Aspic because it isn't as easy to break.

Voted Larks. In My personal ranking they are so Close: Fragile 8,5/10. Larks 9-. Fragile contains the marvellous Heart of the Sunrise but the instrumental pieces are weak.

Like almost everyone else, it's a close one for me too. I went with Larks. As much as I love Fragile, LTiA leaves a more lasting impression.

Thank you for including the both option. Otherwise I might have reluctantly gone with LTIA.
