Great ensemble playing with just enough hooks to keep it hummable.Sure they missed the marks a few times and got a bit bloated but Fragile and Close to the edge still sound fresh.

The Remastered reissues sound really good.
On the Fragile reissue there is a demo/rehearsal take version of Roundabout which is amazing.
Eddy Offord was/is a underated producer/engineer.I remember reading about tons of edits and splices and how the "songs" were kinda stitched together but they could definitely play.
I bet he has some stories...
