To follow up the post of "Drama vs Duke", which 1978 album by these prog giants do you think is better?
Tormato vs ...And Then There Were Three

Tormato.... for giving us 'On the Silent Wings of Freedom' ....a
classic Yessong, and one of the only tracks on that album that Wakeman
didn't ruin.

A total walkover for me. 'ATTWT' trounces 'Tormato' for having several excellent songs and not one that I find at all cringeworthy, whereas 'Tormato' has half an album I consider to be pretty weak.

Tormato definitely. I don't think Tormato is that bad of an album. I like
almost every song on it though it's not as intense as earlier yes works.
"Release, Release" is one of my favorites.

Tormoato, like Drama, is an awesome album. I like Drama and Tormato because it's an evolution from the classic 70s Yes, but the albums aren't produced/oversimplified like their 80s counterparts (90125/Big Generator).

Tormato
The remastered version with extra tracks turns this rather sublime album into something a little more special.

I find Tormato, a bit more of a memorable album for me; however, the
splitting of Hacket on ATTW3 is quite memorable, I only look into the
songs.
I found ATTW3 to be an okay album and it had some melodies and superb
production, but I prefered the Tormato's raw sound. I think because I
hoping Yes would return to that like they had in their early albums.
Tormato didn't feel really wishy-washy and overproduced, like ATTW3
was, which I liked very much.
The songs on Tormato were also solid with some unifying and non-cryptic
themes, that are easily memorable: like "Arriving UFO" for example.

agreed... those bonus tracks were pretty good... enough for an extra
star. Great to hear the early version of 'Does it really happen'
which was probably my favorite off of Drama. Get a kick out of
Squire and Countryside as well... oh the sound of a Rickenbacker raised
in anger hahahhaha.

Just as tough as Drama Vs Duke
I think those were both just average albums (and both inferior to the other poll's album)
but fairly close and difficult choice
Tormato maybe , because there are no stinkers such as Follow You
