Yes, the only album I've never been able to appreciate at all is Tormato. The sleeve doesn't help, but I just can't find anything on that album which holds my attention. I wouldn't call it awful, just dull.

Tormato has his moments, it is clearly inferior to prior Yes production but it is still listenable. In my humble opinion, of course.

Please forgive me for my crappy english!

Can you name a genuinely aweful yes album? or are you of the same opinion as me:
Yes are never bad but the styles used on some albums are not to eveyone's taste.
e.g. 90125 gets bad reveiws because of the pop connection (but you gotta admit its real good pop)
|
NO I DONT HAVE TO ADMIT TO ANYTHING. 90125 is without doubt crap.They should have been put up against wall and shot for producing that pile of dung.

Well I must say "Open your eyes" was a big disappointment, especially knowing Howe, Squire and Anderson were in the band at that point. This was a desperate effort in trying to be accessibke but the result was just a commercial piece of crap. 90125 or even Big Generator was a lot better !

The ONLY Yes studio albums I REALLY appreciate are:
The Yes Album
(Parts of) Fragile
Close to the Edge
Tales from Topographic Oceans
Relayer
Going for the One
This is the stuff I identify Yes with. The rest (though nice in parts) is allowed to steal away under my radar ...

Add "Union" to that list and I agree 100%
6 crap studio albums for a band like Yes is a disgrace and an insult to the fans!

I agree, except Tormato and Magnification aren't all that bad. OK, at least Tormato. I bought Union (used, thank goodness) when I first got into Yes- partially lured by the awesome cover  . I eventually sold it back a while after to the place I got it from.

Agree totally, wanted to write the same, including the part about getting rid of Union (I gave it away, twice, oh foolish me to buy it three times)

Strike off Magnification from the list and parts of Tormato, but here I'm heading into those dire Aor Rabin days  Magnification could have been a great Yes album which leaves me with the hope that this line up can write a great new album.As for the criticisers of ABWH album - open your ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, ABWH is one of their best!! It continues where Going for the One stopped! (and one song is co-written with Vangelis... )
But maybe Talk is also not very good...
