Free Music Notes for Fragile
Free Music Review: Yes - On To The Heart Of The Sunrise
Hit: 5 Stars
"Fragile" is the album that would put the band on the map and turn them into arena headliners. The single "Roundabout" would crack the top 20 and has remained a classic rock staple for the last 35 years. With it's strange lyrics about "mountains coming out of the sky", it remains one of the more unique hit singles of the 70's. Another lineup change was in the works for "Fragile" with original Keyboard player Tony Kaye leaving and a man who is considered one of the great rock keyboardists of all time, Rick Wakeman joining the band. For many this is the classic lineup of Yes, and the version of the band that would produce what many fans consider their all time best material. "Fragile" is broken up into full band songs and solo pieces by the individual musicians. Wakeman contributes "Cans And Brahms", drummer Bill Bruford pens "Five Per Cent For Nothing", guitarist Steve Howe showcases his acoustic side on "Mood For A Day", vocalist John Anderson throws in the whimsical "We Have Heaven" and bassist Chris Squire adds his signature tune "The Fish". "Mood For A Day" and "The Fish" have remained concert staples to this day giving both Howe and Squire their lengthy solo spots at each Yes concert. The band compositions are all solid with "Roundabout", "South Side Of The Sky", "Long Distance Runaround", and "Heart Of The Sunrise" all considered classic Yes tracks and indeed they are all great. In many ways "Fragile" was the album that really catapulted Yes into superstars as instrumentally and vocally they had very few peers in the business at the time. This one is an essential Yes album in my opinion.
