I get what Drive is saying, Tales has no Roundabout or Yours Is No Disgrace or Starship Trooper or anything like their more digestible tracks. It's all the proggiest, most epic in scope elements of Yes assembled together into those four tracks.
I personally love it, have listened to it hundreds of times and know it like the back of my hand, but I know a heck of a lot of people, including some who were fans in the 70s, who were confused at its lack of immediacy.
Relayer on the other hand is more immediate but also a lot more wild and unhinged.
