I don't think of First Utterance as a prog album at all.

I'm no genre genius, but I think of it as a psychedelic folk album.

Yeah but wouldn't it be hard to argue that First Utterance doesn't also fit the Progressive Rock bill?

edit : Just out of curiosity, I tried to find a little more information. I found an interview with Roger Wooten who is one of the Comus guys. Quote:

Okay, Comusaholics, can we bring the conversation back to the original topic? I know you're all eager to discuss Comus, but I'd like to know if there are any more votes for the two albums, as this is currently the status: not a runaway success for Yes by any means, and a few more votes could really change the tide, either way.
Close to the edge - 4 Animals - 2 So, to quote Twelfth Night from "Creepshow" --- Anymore for anymore? Also, anyone with ideas for the next battle, don't be shy...

Pile another vote on Close to the Edge. I've never understood the insane hype for Animals-- yeah it's a good album but it pales in comparison to Pink Floyd's more well-known stuff and even, I'd argue, Meddle. I don't find it very memorable, but CttE is just insanely fun to listen to. You've got a group of some very groove-oriented, very technically-skilled musicians all jamming together on three epic tracks-- every time I listen to the album I focus on a different musician and discover something new and titillating.
In Animals' defense, Waters' lyrics are much more engaging than Anderson's abstract(nonsensical) narratives. |

Perhaps true, but I find Anderson's way of writing lyrics for CttE, by basically putting together words which sound nice and "paint" the right pictures, to be a pretty original way of writing songs.
