After I listen to Tormato,"Release Release" gets stuck in my head.
I find myself sing/talking Release Release around the house for a day or two.

Ha ha, that's quite funny. I don't agree with your opinion of Release, Release though Richard, I think it's brilliant. I used to have the opening riff as my ringtone and nobody ever knew what it was.

One of the good songs on the album.

I don't think the album is underrated, quite the contrary, it's always had its defenders here on PA.

I have come to appreciate the album more over time.

I remember back in the vinyl days, it was the only Yes album you'd find in the cut-out bin. Remember the cut-out bin? They would actually damage the album cover/sleeve as recourse for having to sell off the "undesirable" titles for $2.98 or whatever.

Maybe they were trying to get a stadium rock feel? Anyway, I like how it sounds, the whole track.

It's a fine song—very much in the same vein as Going For The One, but frankly I've never cared for the "crowd noises" on top of what are pretty interesting drum and guitar passages.

I am a Yes fan since 1973 but I think this is one of their finest tracks. Everything works and meshes perfectly, Alan White gets a super drum break in the middle and the lyrics and harmonies are spot on.
Actually, I like all of Tormato and I think it's an underrated album.
