Descripcion en Español (Urraca3k):

La banda britanica YES, en el año 1971, saco a la venta lo que para mi es su obra maxima...."FRAGILE", un disco absolutamente INCREIBLE y ESPECTACULAR, como la gran mayoria de los discos de esta banda, pero yo remarco especialmente a Fragile, como uno de los mejores discos de la decada del 70, y de toda la historia. Yes con Fragile, cuarto album de la banda inglesa, mostro al mundo su nueva incorporacion en los teclados...el grandisimo Rick Wakeman...el disco tuvo mucha aceptacion en todas las partes del mundo, y gracias a esta placa, la banda Yes tuvo un salto de popularidad muy considerable en muchas partes del planeta...en diferencia con los otros lp's editados por yes, este lp especialmente, pone en primer plano los talentos individuales de cada miembro de la banda como solista...este espectacular disco con 41 minutos de pura genialidad sin dudas es uno de los mejores discos de la historia....la banda por ese entonces estaba formada por...Jon Anderson (VOZ), Chris Squire (BAJO y VOCALES), Steve Howe (GUITARRA ELECTRICA, ACUSTICA y VOCALES), El Recien incorporado Rick Wakeman (ORGANO, PIANO, MELOTRON Y SINTETIZADOR) y Bill Bruford (BATERIA Y PERCUSIONES).

Description In English (By ProgArchives):

Fragile is the fourth album by British progressive rock band Yes. It is best known for the song "Roundabout", which was released in an edited version as a U.S. single and became one of the band's best-known songs, along with "I've Seen All Good People" from The Yes Album. This was Rick Wakeman's first album with Yes - and also its first trans-atlantic Top 10 release.

Fragile was issued in the UK in November 1971, but was held back in North America for two months because of the still-growing momentum of The Yes Album.

Unlike Yes' previous releases, this album showcased the band members' solo talents. This was to cut down on recording time, as the album had to be recorded and released hastily because the band needed money to pay for Wakeman's keyboard equipment, thus explaining why this is one of the few albums where all songs are over one minute away from the mean time. "Cans and Brahms" is a piece by Johannes Brahms, consisting of extracts from the third movement of Brahms' 4th Symphony in E minor, arranged by Rick Wakeman; "We Have Heaven" is a Jon Anderson solo in which he sings all the vocal parts (a technique he later used on his solo album Olias of Sunhillow); while "Five Per Cent For Nothing", "The Fish" and "Mood For A Day" are solo pieces by Bill Bruford, Chris Squire and Steve Howe, respectively. The remaining songs are all group performances.
