Lazarus Mar 18, 2013 - 21:04 | Everybody in my church loves this song... (and this whole album...) |
Bargamon Feb 15, 2013 - 12:05 | YES is a great band but there might be but so many hours in a lifetime one can listen to them before they start to fall off. I might have reached that. I have seen them live about 6 times over many years and for most of my life can say they were top 5 on my list. Sometimes the rankings just change? |
Limpopoking Feb 15, 2013 - 11:45 | Ah, I had a most awesomely mis-spent youth... this takes me right there. Gotta admit though, the compact cassette really sucked for reproduction (this album was one of my first "tapes"), but they made music so accessible. |
idiot_wind Feb 15, 2013 - 11:43 | Hey matude, You go that right. I'll go one further. Chris Squire...was one of the best bass players. Just listen to the bass, he's all over the place. And Steve Howe, for a short period in the 1970s, was one of the best guitar players. |
matude Jan 15, 2013 - 04:07 | pure genius.. most underrated band in past 40yrs |

Like so many other 'songs' output by this baroque bunch of pretentious poseurs and peddlers of abstruse cod gnomic mysticism, this goes on and on and on. I remember I had a disc of Relayer back in my teens when I was a sucker for this kind of 'deep' and 'intellectual' noodling, and it consisted of only three tracks, one of which took up a whole side (that's around 20 minutes, kids). As for that tyke's off-key wailing in t' Yorkshire accent, it's fookin' dire, 'appen. 1's too good for 'em. Hilarious! I'm quite fond of the Yes Relayer CD. Better for Rick Wakeman's absence. But I usually end up listening to Yes by myself. Maybe there's a hint there? Yes is bombastic. Anderson's vocals require some effort, agreed. Otherwise, I guess I'm still a teen at heart. <vbg> |

Every day is a treasure, and this song rocks... |
