Judging by your post and the fact that I got Going for the One because I've seen the cover in so many places, this probably isn't a popular opinion.

GFTO is a better album than Tormato IMO, Awaken is a particularly good track. Tormato has up moments, esp Silent Wings of Freedom, but Wakeman's tone sucks throughout and Circus of Heaven is Jon Anderson at his touchy-feely worst IMO.
Neither are as good as the albums between The Yes Album and Relayer (which is my favorite Yes album). I like Tales From Topographic Oceans although I admit it's padded. They had too much good stuff for 1 album, not enough for two, but the good outweighs the filler for me.
