TORMATO

I just can't believe this album was released just a year after Going for the one, which is excellent and certainly one of my favourite Yes albums. In contrast, Tormato is a poor album compared to all the earlier Yes records. The highlights are nice ballads "Madrigal" with great harpsichord by Rick Wakeman, "Onward", and "On the Silent Wings of Freedom". The other songs are not interesting and very easily forgettable. And the cover is ugly indeed:) So if you want to try Yes, definitely start with an album released before Tormato. This one is really just for collectors/fans.
