Not bad at all.

There a few good songs like Splintering Heart, the trilogy This Town/The Rakes Progress/100 Nights, and The Party, but, overall, this was a disappointing release, especially in spite of what came before and after it.

Disagree, satisfying overall. Cover my Eyes, Dry Land and No One Can are pretty good songs.

What albums that most people do not care for do you feel aren't that bad at all? Here's some for me:
2. Tormato - Yes

Yes! (= I agree Smile)

If I had to pick a limited number of Yes albums for the "uninhabited island" situation, I'd go with Fragile, Tormato and the Yesterdays compilation. No CTTE, no Relayer and no Oceans, if I can help it. 

Thank you for reminding me .. savoring the bass on the Side B of the Fragile right now ...

Although there are no actual 'bad' tracks  its a  Frankenstein monster of an album that virtually destroyed their hard earned reputations over night (not Love Beach as is often thought)

Bullfrog I think was recorded with jazz musicians from a group that Carl produced called Back Door. Just like a lot of things on that album there were glimpses of things they could have expanded on. There is a general big band jazz feel to a lot of tracks. They should have concentrated on that imo.

Drama by Yes. A lot of Anderson fanboys rip the record to pieces for the sole reason that Anderson isn't on the album. The Album is fantastic.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it: 

Rush - Power Windows. Maybe too much echo and 80's synths but not a bad album IMO.

^ Probably prefer Hold Your Fire over Power Windows. Both are under-appreciated for sure.

Yep, it gets rated as if it were an administrator's inventory on an entity that has either entered voluntary liquidation or been subject to a winding up order versus a viable working touring rock band. There are no weak tracks yet it's deemed a turkey because Bernard Matthews wasn't an ELP fan?
