TORMATO

Well, the infamous Tormato. Every Yes fan has an opinion good or bad or mixed. For me, this is a mixed album. Some great classic songs, some okay material, and then some Jon Anderson frufru songs thrown in. I really like Future Times, Rejoice, Don't Kill the Whale, Release Release, and The Silent Wings of Freedom. I find these to be solid Yes songs. Onward bores me although it is not really terrible. Madrigal is acceptable but nothing great. The rest is wasted on me. WAY too much happy/elfin Jon Anderson music for me. I have never really been a huge ANderson solo fan and Circus of Heaven and Arriving UFO remind me of solo Anderson too much. Plus, they are just plain dumb lyric wise. So, overall, because of the good songs I would give this a 3.5 stars (3 stars)
