Relayer- Rating out of 5?

[pianozach]

5+

There's not anything on this album that I could nitpick. It's perfect.

A Truly Classic Album.....
....And a Major part of something I called (The) Yes Epics Story.


Check it out if you wish.

Ah, you got the same edition as me then with the crate of ale?

Yup, and a packet of patchouli joss-stocks.

Chocolate would be nice.

Relayer and Topographic Oceans are two of the best albums ever.
Five out of five.

[Ceasar’s Palace]

5. But I like CTTE more.

[Davy]

I'm the 3. 😁 There's sections of all three songs that I love, and parts (mainly in Sound Chaser and the battle sequence) where I think, why am I listening to this?

5 as there wasn’t a 6

What he said.
If there was a 6, I'd say 7.

I was listening to it this afternoon out walking in the sunshine. It made me do a couple of twirls ..

Of course Relayer is a solid 5. Duh.

[alex peters]

I gave it a 4. For decades it was a 5 for me but for some reason or another and this is just me Relayer has lost a bit thru the decades. For me it has not aged perfectly. Moraz is great but Live he was so off the tracks the rest of the band had trouble working with him. He was not a TEAM player live. The rest of the band never knew what he was going to do next.

5!! My second favourite Yes album, carrying my all time favourite Yes song: Gates of Delirium. I think their most adventurous album (sorry Tales lovers), yet not adventurous just to be adventurous, the playing really serves the songs and their messages. Soon is the most serene and beautiful finale to a song ever recorded in my opinion. Also Chris' and Alan's pinnacle as a rhythm section. Magnificent from start to finish.

[Gilly Goodness]

But the real diamond here is To Be Over, which is literally the sound of back in the days when you were younger and didn't have too much to worry about. This track is laid back and summery. And yes, orangey skies do come to mind.
