TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS

Sorry, but I can't share all that enthusiasm about this album. After their 3 previous great albums, this double album with a song on each side and that nice cover could have been a masterpiece...but it fails. Don't get me wrong, the first track is pretty good (even if the first time I heard it i thought it was the worst one on the album), and it has a nice melody, and a few nice moments, but the rest is boring and I can't even remember a second of it. A very controversial album of course, and I guess it makes good background music or something. If you're new to Yes or prog rock, keep away from this one.
