TORMATO

This is a unfairly under-rated album! Ok,you can't set it on one level with Close To The Edge (best prog record of all times), but the band plays really well forward on this album. After this record they would lose ground, but "Tormato" is still far away from disappointment. It's the same like with Genesis' "And Then There Were Three" from the same year, they had with "Follow You, Follow Me" one big hit on the album, so all old fans screamed: crap! They overlooked the rest of the record with their anger about that. So it's with "Tormato" and the famous ballad "Onward". In my humble oppinion it's a fantastic song, very nice. I wonder about many people who gave this record less than 3 stars, because this album shows the technical and compositional potential of Yes perfectly, and includes with "Future Times/Rejoice", "Don't Kill The Whale" (superb guitar by Steve Howe!) and "On The Silent Wings Of Freedom" at least three all-time classics of Yes, which are so over-looked that it's a shame! 'nough said.
