When I saw the the name of the thread I figured it was referring to the title tracks. I guess it’s the whole album. Either way, Close to the Edge. It’s three amazing songs. And it’s perfect.

Hemispheres is great, but Close to the Edge is one of the greatest albums of all time.

I know this will shock most but Close two the Edge is a top ten album of all time.  Hemispheres is in my top 20.

Yeah, I don't get it. I tried Close To the Edge once. I struggled to make it through.

Of course, guy.

I'll always choose Rush over Yes.  Yes better than Rush?  NO!  :lol

Agreed. Maybe if those Yes albums had heavier guitars and better production, I’d think differently.

Clockwork isn't nearly as prog as Hemispheres. I picked Hemispheres easily, but I really don't like Yes, so I'm biased.

Biased = very subjective

Most prog Rush album

Umm...Clockwork Angels would like a word with you.

Tell Clockwork Angels to sit down and be quiet.   ;D

CA is not in the same class with Hemispheres.

What's weird is, I love Hemispheres the album better, but I might prefer the title track of CTTE over Hemispheres the song, and while LVS is better than anything on both records, And You And I might be second.   It's not that I love Circumstances or The Trees that much better than Siberian Khatru, it's just that as a whole Hemispheres really works for me.

I'd say the title track CTTE is much superior and more creative than Hemispheres' title track.
And I would take LVS over AYAI. But Siberian Khatru absolutely crushes Circumstances, The Trees are much closer.

Not often that I would vote Yes over Rush. I like both albums, but I think Close to the Edge does a better job with the epic length tracks.
