Tormato.

One of the most maligned of Yes albums.

I'll have to admit, I was disappointed when it came out. But in hindsight, it's not so bad. Emerson Lake & Palmer released "Love Beach" that same year, Gentle Giant released "Giant For A Day", Genesis put out "And Then There Were Three". This album is better than any of those. What it's not is anywhere near as good as any of the previous Yes albums since Steve Howe joined the band.

It has some decent songs. Future Times/Rejoice, Release, Release and On The Silent Wings Of Freedom are all good, but not great Yes songs. And none of the remaining tracks are bad, just not up to the standard we had come to know from Yes.

Compare them to the Rabin band albums, or "Open Your Eyes", and this album sounds good.
