Tales for me

I was so pumped by the title and the fact that Yes was releasing a double album

then I listened to the music.  What a disappointment.

The title is still really cool, though  :)

From Sid Smith's book In the Court of the Crimson King on the Larks' Tongue sessions:

"Fripp was certain that no new lyricist would enjoy the same position of close collaboration Peter Sinfield had occupied. [Jamie] Muir was of the view that, as intelligent creative people, they should be able to come up with the words themselves. [ . . . ] Given this, Fripp not unreasonably asked if the percussionist had any lyrics that might be suitable [to this new music]. 'Of course I didn't,' recalls a slightly chastened Muir. 'Actually I tried, but it was absolute rubbish. It was some awful Gothic thing and I was intensely embarrassed about it and it was quite rightly politely declined.'
"But Muir did coin a phrase with a significance belying the off-the-wall nature of its creation. When asked to describe the music they were making, Muir came up with 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic.'" (159)
The damage that we do is just so powerfully strong we call it love

The damage that we do just goes on and on and on but not long enough.

H to HE is a bit too crazy for me and Larks Tongues in Aspic is kind of gross. Tales is a solid title and it would make me at least somewhat interested in what the album is like from hearing or reading it.

"Lark's Tongues In Aspic" is one of top ten album titles in my book!

Tales doesnt make any sense, though its rather poetic.

Larks' is nice and wacky, though it's KC so you can never know what their true intention was.

H to He is just amazingly clever.

H to He it is.

Larks, but they're all very good.

I don't think any of the titles are particularily good, as is the case with most prog titles! Larks is the least awful.

I prefer simple descriptive titles, like this

 and this

a Danish release, it translates to
"13 songs about the European Union, played and sung by the EF-group"

perfect no BS title.

From the prog realm, a favourite is NEU! - elegant short and very descriptive!

Tales From Topographic Oceans is one of my favorite album titles ever.
