Wow. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would.

So, when it comes to Yes, I've only had a few encounters with them, all of them being songs from "Fragile" that a friend of mine showed me. I... Honestly did not think that this album would be much better, despite the overall higher user score. But no, this is one of the best prog experiences I've had.

Might have to give Fragile another shot after this. This is a damn good album, and that one might be too.

Wish you Were here is an album that should be studied until the end of music as we know it.

This isn't just nostalgia bait man, this is seriously some of the most tear-inducing, tranquil music I've ever listened to.

My favorite classic Prog album.

Ay, this shit is really good! I used to think this was better than the debut but changed my mind. It's definitely close thanks to its cleaner sound and catchier tracks, but the Franz Ferdinand self-titled still beats it out.

(My score purely represents my own enjoyment)

I've never listened to an album that sounds so musically and lyrically shattered as this one. It's like all the words and instruments put into this piece were broken apart and haphazardly strung back together with duct tape and string. Gosh, what an amazing experimental album.

You see, The Beatles is good. The Beatles is great. So of course, the album "Magical Mystery Tour" by the good/great band, "The Beatles", must be good/great itself, right?

Yeah.

Rereview:
I liked it quite a bit more.
I think the biggest flaw with this album is Wouldn't It Be Nice. Not because it is a bad song, or because it would've fit better in a different spot, I don't think those things at all. Wouldn't It Be Nice is inarguably one of the best songs ever made. No, it's that Wouldn't It Be Nice, an energetic love song with beautiful harmonies, wound up on an album chock full of songs in which a summer meadow represents their beauty. Essentially, they are calm, ... read more

What the fuck did I just listen to.

The best experiments in music are the ones that don't rely on strange production or effects to make the music sound weird. This album is one of those experiments. Despite my score (which strictly represents my personal enjoyment), I think this is one of the best experimental albums I've listened to. Seriously, it throws you curveball after curveball. Some of the lyrics are kinda iffy, and I'm not too crazy about many of the tracks, but that's about all my ... read more

The fact that this came out in the 70s is amazing. This concept album stays consistently mesmeric throughout the entire run-through, giving a listener an incredibly unique experience-- one that the interludes like "Standing at the Edge" actually add to. The clear medieval fantasy theme here is blended in with this sort of cosmic theme too, and it's executed quite well.

There is literally not one dull moment in this album. Every song perfectly transitions into the next, and just when ... read more

God damn this album is awesome. I don't even like new wave music, but I couldn't help but groove the sheer attitude and sound of this project. I do think it has some issues; primarily, it's very repetitive. But at the same time, that repetition is so seamless you could hardly notice it.

I can completely understand why this album is as legendary and highly-rated as it is, though it's not my favorite at all.

This had a very surprising amount of psychedelic influence. That aside, I found this album to be quite inconsistent. Literally, half of the songs are complete snoozers, while the other half are total bangers. That is until the last quarter; all of those songs are snoozers. I overall found this much worse than Ta-Dah, but it's by no means a bad album.

The humor in this song is admittedly dated, but god DAMN if it isn't a bop.

This is one of those albums I'd categorize as an "experience album", where you listen to it cuz it's like an auditory movie, but you never really come back to the individual songs. Well, because it's Mr. Bungle, some individual songs are actually really good and worth coming back to. It does a lot of experiments, quite literally going for a few "album movie" shots in the dark with songs like "The Bends" (which, in my opinion, fucking sucks even in regard to what it ... read more

FREEEEE BIIIIIIRD YEAAAAAH!!!

Aside from Mississippi Kid, this album is a great listen the whole way through. Sure, the sound didn't age all that well, but it's still very fun, well-produced, and as awesome as it gets.

With a name like "Brother Where You Bound", you'd think this album is some revolutionary Top-100 albums of all time type of shit. It isn't, but it's still a solid album.

I wish the album-titled track had more oomph to it. The first half was great, but then it got kinda boring afterward. Aside from that, the closing track was pretty good, and everything else was nice jazz-influenced prog.

Meh.

The whole minecraft ambience-like music really didn't do it for me. There were some decent moments, but for the most part, this crap bored me to death. I'll give it a few more listens in time.

This sounds like if Franz Ferdinand made a more laid-back album. It's not bad, but not my thing.

The album's fine. It definitely sounds a bit generic and derivative, but there are moments of genius here and there, like the inclusion of a surprisingly effective kazoo in No Plans To Make Plans and the generally groovy We Just Get By. Dirt cheap is by far the worst song here, but aside from that, the album is decently consistent.

Good, mellow psychedelic music that sadly falls off a bit in the second half. I'm a big fan of Tesselation.
