Howe and Wakeman too. Those albums weren't well received when they were released. It took some years for them to grow on folks. Honestly, I remember being disappointed with them (especially with Howe's).

His was all over the place and highlighted his less than stellar songwriting and.... ahem, mediocre vocals.
Wakeman and Anderson's were more composed but ridiculously self indulgent and nowhere near a Yes fix.
Only Fish out of Water did pretty well right away but really only based on the opening track.

I still listen to Fish and Olias but haven't heard the other two in forever.
