Well that first album came out in 76 when people were already starting to find that stuff cheesy, but then again not caring how much people find you cheesy is an important part of the prog rock ethos, shamelessly trying to sound like another band not so much.
This was also when Yes went 3 years without releasing any new material so the individual members could focus on solo and side projects so I have a theory that labels were signing up soundalike bands like Starcastle to try and fill that void.
