 All right first of all i can't remember any names after Roundabout and Cans And Brahms, i don't remember what is what because i seem to fall into a sort of trance......which only ends after the thing finishes..after  which i change the side and start all over again...my god....it isn't as trance inducing and complex as Close To The Edge but it is as powerful as ever.......
Jon Anderson sounds like the much better half of Geddy Lee..his voice is high and many people don't like it and god knows what he keeps singing with such a serious and straight face....but the voice provides the cushion to the music which is incredibly good...believe you me........i mean after the first 50 listens or so things start falling into place and after the first 100 listens you start enjoying the whole thing........in one go...
But compared to Close to the edge that is nothing.......
(which doesn't necessarily mean that this one is better than that or vice versa)
The trick is not to listen too closely to the music..let it take hold of you and forget everything else..and most important of all ..DON'T USE YOUR BRAINS(in the remote possibility that you do have them,that is)
I won't attempt to describe anything...(partly because i will look like a fool and partly because describing Fragile is like describing a beautiful woman............all right that is enough)
Ta ra te Ta rara Te TING tA .....................

                                         Close To The Edge  A+

1.The Solid Time of Change/Total Mass Retain/I Get Up

2.And You And I

3.Siberian Khatru

Another of your beautiful and mystical women..but i will try to describe something this time around...
There are only 3 songs on the whole album..
One is a 17 minute complex,god knows what the hell is going on songs where you don't know the ending and the beginning.....
One is a "normal" poppish song that sounds relaxing and good the first time around itself..
One is a funky song that might be my most favourite song ever........
And really you can't say much more than that...............
You've gotta listen for yourself.....to experience it..it sounds glorious and prog heads will be happy......
The lyrics are incomprehensible i mean "I get up I get down" but who gives a damn about them anyways?
My brain can now anticipate the twists and turns of the songs so i enjoy them even more so i enjoy them even more,increasing familiarity increases the enjoyment.Awesome,awesome stuff.Can't see anything remotely uninteresting for miles........
