^ Not sure what that has to do with Tormato but Dantalion was a demon mentioned in old occult lore like the 'Lesser Key Of Solomon'...I used to read occult lore many years ago when a young man.
There was also a band called Dantalions Chariot in 1967 psych pop rock...Andy Summers (The Police)was in the band .

I'm due to add Tormato to my YouTube album playlists tomorrow, so maybe I'll gain a new appreciation for the album if I can find some good videos to go with the songs. Then again, maybe I won't.

It's among my least favourites from the band. I guess if they were able to do greater stuff after this one, there may yet be hope for them to do something good after Heaven and Earth.

Not necessarily a bad thing, Howe is a bit over the top at time.

I must say, Howe isn't mostly pointless at all. His presence is central to every track.

Yeah the cover for Gft1 is rubbish.
That album has Yes at their best and worst. Not a fan of the title track. Tormato is just a fun listen.

I really quite like Tormato. I like the cover art, too. Going For The One has far worse cover art (and music, too, but I realise not many will agree with me there....)
My personal top five would be: 1. Tales 2. Relayer 3. Drama 4. Close 5. Tormato So, there you go. We all like different things.

Punk? The only thing that's kind of punk on it is "release release" which to me is actually more like Yes's take on regular rock n roll. I don't really hear much punk in it.

I just have a soft spot for this album. It's so quirky. Their take on punk is suitably ridiculous. Onward is nice and sweet. Arriving UFO makes Karen Carpenter seem reasonable.

In "On The Silent Wings Of Freedom" Rick's keyboard should be the most craziest, my love.

what really impresses me about that track is the attempt by White to bore a hole in his snare drum. I love it. White is on fire on that album. Snare and bass drum work is the best I've ever heard. He also carried that onto Drama which was a much tighter and better album. Tormato has it's moments but its just all over the place ideas wise and that in itself creates a bad impression.

Even Silent Wings of Freedom is underworked. Very unpleasant time for the band in the recording studio and it shows. Sometimes tension can produce great albums. Not in this case.

I'm not sure which one is worse Tormato or Going for the one. At least Tormato doesn't have a dude's butt on it.

Decent album with a few really good songs. But that album cover! Where was Roger Dean? On vacation?
