Reviews

  • wattman050
    I must it, I'm not a big fan of Yes. 90125 with Owner of a Lonely Heart is one of the two albums Yes made that I liked. Close to the Edge is the other one. It's like it supposed to be a symphony, but like many they failed to make it a proper one because there are only a few bands that succeeded in making a symphony sound. To me, Queen is a great example in that area.

    But Close to the Edge (and now I mean the 18:12 minute epic A side) had some elements that I really like. Not hard though. Use an organ like this and I'm sold.
