LISTED IN 1001ALBUMS YOU MUST HEAR BEFORE YOU DIE
"This remains the apothesis of prog rock itself. First one encounters Roger Dean's enigmatic jacket design, presented in a gatefold format that is ideal for both contemplation and joint rolling. The track listing is the next hallmark, boasting only three titles, two in four movement, ersatz-symphonic structure. Pull out the sleeve and Jon Anderson's delightfully obtuse lyrics reveal themselves in all their florid glory. As ripe as it is for parody on the surface, the music on Close To The Edge is a wonder. Whereas Yes has showcased their individual talents on their breakout disc Fragile earlier the same year,on Close To The Edge they forged a more cohesive whole, striking a balance between esthetics and audacity. Their determinedly eclectic approach had them move from furious jazz to gothic organ flourish, then on to a driving rock groove--one false move and it would all fall tom pieces...The melodic stop-time rhythms of Bill Bruford and Chris Squire were the perfect grounding for Steve Howe's funky, Eastern-tinged guitar lines and Rick Wakeman's rococo keyboard noodling.At the center was Jon Anderson's high-flown tenor. It was something that should not have worked but it did--beautifully". Tim Sheridan, free lance music writer. Dimery, Robert ed., 1001ALBUMS YOU MUST HEAR BEFORE YOU DIE. New York: Universe Publications, p. 263.
