Yes Close to the Edge Rock Music CD Review
One word describes the CD Close To The Edge from Yes... AWESOME!
Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.
Overall Close To The Edge is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Rock collection. Truly an outstanding Rock CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.
While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - And You And I / Cord Of Life / Eclipse / The Preacher The Teacher / Apocalypse, track 6 - And You And I / Cord Of Life / Eclipse / The Preacher The Teacher / Apocalypse, and track 7 - Siberia
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Close To The Edge: / The Solid Time Of Change / Total Mass Retain / I Get Up I Get Down / Seasons.... Good stuff!
