Although I don't find anything on the album boring, I mostly agree with you and, as I wrote, the title track is my favourite on the album. When I listen to the album, I usually listen to the whole thing (all 3 tracks) and enjoy all of it. My last post was written not to prog or Yes fans, but more to those who might pick up this on a recommendation, then have a hard time with the first few minutes. My suggestion then is if "Close to the Edge" puts you off, try "And You And I" first.
Still, I think the absolute best thing to do if you have a hard time with Close to the Edge (track
or album) is read a bit about it so you understand it conceptually .. which is why I even earlier recommended looking up a review on the site
Prog albums are usually not "easy" and even an immortal classic like this one might be hard on someone who's new to early prog.
