a little surprised Long Distance Runaround trailed so far behind the other 3

It’s not that the songs that placed low are not good, it’s that the songs that placed high are monuments

Yeah, the top 4 (plus 'The Fish', which I see more as a coda to 'Long Distance Runaround' - can't have one without the other) are the real meat of this record. Anything additional is just highly listenable padding.

'Mood For A Day' isn't as enjoyable as 'Clap' but it's kinda funny seeing it only get one vote when I assume these are some very difficult songs to play.

(listening to them again) ... maybe 'Mood For A Day' is better

According to Anderson, the song is about being lost in the city.[2]

The song is about being the roundabout.

Yes was a band that was partly great for reasons beyond the control of any of its members. The corny "give each member a feature" aspect of this album is evidence of just how questionable a lot of their ideas and taste were. I always pictured that as being Jon Anderson's influence although IDK for sure. Jon Anderson himself has a lot of lame tendencies (as does Rick Wakeman) and yet both work exceedingly well over that rhythm section.

i love heart of the sunrise so much
― ت (jim in vancouver), Friday, 8 November 2019 19:54 (four years ago) link
the 'give each member a feature' is a fun aspect of the album imo, and the fish and mood for a day stand pretty well on their own tbh.

it's filler, but sometimes it's nice to have some filler to welcome us into the band's sonic world.

I like all the solo bits, besides Wakemans. Mood for a Day is really pretty and I like The Fish has an extended coda to Long Distance Runaround. Even Jon's is pretty fun.

bruford's is kinda pointless, but it's also 30 seconds long, so it's fine.

the instrumental virtuosity each YES person performs here is more compelling and inspirational than "good taste" imho. i mean "heart of the sunrise", holy fuck
