« Relayer » est un album phare du rock progressif signé par le groupe britannique légendaire Yes et proposé ici au format CD par le label Rhino. Sorti en 1974, ce disque audacieux comprend trois longues pièces qui mettent en avant la virtuosité du groupe ainsi que ses arrangements complexes et son univers sonore inventif ; « The Gates of Delirium », inspiré de « Guerre et Paix » de Tolstoï, reste l?une des ?uvres les plus épiques de Yes à ce jour. La formation sur cet opus réunit Jon Anderson (chant), Chris Squire (basse), Steve Howe (guitare), Alan White (batterie) et Patrick Moraz aux claviers ? sa seule participation studio avec le groupe. Depuis leur création en 1968, Yes s?est imposé comme une référence incontournable du genre grâce à des classiques tels que « Fragile » ou « Close to the Edge », accumulant disques de platine et une intronisation au Rock & Roll Hall of Fame en 2017. Le fabricant Rhino se distingue par la qualité supérieure de ses rééditions et son engagement pour la préservation d?un patrimoine musical emblématique tous styles confondus.
The seventh studio album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released in November 1974. Relayer received a mixed to positive reception from contemporary and retrospective critics. It reached No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 5 on the US Billboard 200. I recommend.

Still like the music but it’s like this remix cd has been recorded with Dolby on. Lacking in bass, and the treble is harsh, sometimes bordering on a distorted mess.

Wakeman’s absence has always benefited Yes. So, “Relayer” was able to record as “Close To The Edge” should have sounded. There is no longer the pathos that was on the previous two albums, much less “atmospheric” (read “empty”) keyboard passages, the music became freer, more energetic.
"Sound chaser" is, in my opinion, the top of the album. Never before or after Yes could I put so much energy into a song. And the Howe solo is in the middle, where Morricone organically intertwines with Bach. Squire on "Relayer" is just awesome - he and Howe are doing the whole album. Only drums seemed a little boring.
All these superlatives relate to the first two songs, but "To Be Over" ... I perceive the last song as the calm after the storm. The same contemplative number was on "Close To The Edge", but on "Relayer" this is now very out of place.
The best, in my opinion, album of Yes.

It is not "Fragile" or "close to the edge" but it's the next best thing in progressive rock!! Anderson's voice shines and the band is in top form!! The remastered edition comes with bonus tracks in a digipack with much information!! Classic!!
