I notice a lot of people giving major props to Gypsy and Hold Me over the other tracks, which coincidentally were the big hits. It also seems like the album has some sentimental value to people, and if that's the case I can understand why some really like the album. I'm a huge Yes fan and some of the more overlooked or odd albums in the catalog are favorites of mine because they bring back good memories of my childhood and whatnot.
I'll tell you what though, I'm glad I have Mirage for Christine's songs and "Can't Go Back". I only paid 5 bucks for it anyways, I don't regret the purchase. The last album I bought was Tusk which I just love track to track, so Mirage was kind of a shock after digesting such a mammoth album.
Who knows, this album may very well grow on me. A lot of my favorite albums I hated at first, I guess I just expect that since the Mac are pop that I should love it right out of the box and it should be immidiately engaging. Some songs on Tusk that I couldn't stand or thought were boring at first really grew on me. I'm going to make sure I got my moneys worth and give it some more serious top-to-bottom spins. I'll check back in a week.
Oh by the way which one of you said earlier that I'm negative and not much of a fan? No ****. Did you see the albums I have? My fandom is currently IN PROGRESS. Believe me, I'm workin' on it!
As far as the negativity, I love Tusk and right now is one of my favorites. Mystery To Me is fantastic. Bare Trees has phenominal stuff on it. I love all the junk on the box set I have. Future Games is also pretty cool. Remeber I also said Mirage definately has some high points.
I'll show you negativity. You SUCK.
And I'm kidding.
