Fragile is the fourth studio album by Yes, released on 26 November 1971. It was the first album in which former David Bowie collaborator Rick Wakeman contributed to the keyboards after replacing Tony Kaye (who would in turn become a live player for Bowie), and also the first with the album cover art by illustrator Roger Dean. It was a critical and commercial success, having been certified double platinum by the RIAA.The track "Roundabout" was released as a single on 4 January 1972 in the United States, where it reached #13 in the Billboard Hot 100, and has since been one of the band's most iconic songs.Not to be mistaken for Nine Inch Nails album The Fragile Tracklist:Side One "Roundabout" (8:29) "Cans and Brahms" (1:35) "We Have Heaven" (1:30) "South Side of the Sky" (8:04)Side Two "Five Per Cent for Nothing" (0:35) "Long Distance Runaround" (3:33) "The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus)" (2:35) "Mood for a Day" (2:57) "Heart of the Sunrise" (10:34)* 11:24 if the reprise of "We Have Heaven" is included, which starts around 10:38. | |

Door-Closes Ending | |
| Fragile (Music) / int_4968ed35 | comment |
Door-Closes Ending: When Jon Anderson's solo piece "We Have Heaven" ended with the sound of footsteps walking away and then a door slamming. (A hidden track after the last song on the album has the door reopening onto a reprise of "We Have Heaven".) | |

Gratuitous Latin: Schindleria praematurus on "The Fish". It's a slightly altered rendition of the scientific name of Schindler's fish (Schindleria praematura). | |

Album Filler | |
| Fragile (Music) / int_ddf8c5ba | comment |
Album Filler: As explained in the liner notes, the "solo" pieces were recorded to get the album out the door quickly to pay the bank loan on Rick Wakeman's instruments. Their "filler" is still pretty good, with Steve Howe's acoustic piece "Mood for a Day" considered one of his best. That's how awesome they are. | |
