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.

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.

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

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.

I roomed with an AC/DC fan about 1980 and he played that song to death ( I had a copy of Tormato on cassette which he grabbed at every opportunity it semmed). I got so fed up I taped over it with an Adam and The Ants song just to annoy him. I was very mean to do that but got the usual 'you f**ker' reaction from him so job done. In general I like Tormato but Release, Release is one of the weaker songs on it imo.

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.
