Tormato is one of their weakest albums. In fact the band nearly broke up because of it, and it's the reason Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman left Yes only shortly after it's release. There are some strong tracks, my favorites are Onward, On The Silent Wings Of Freedom and Release, Release.
Don't Kill The Whale and Arriving UFO aren't bad songs, but they suffer from horrible lyrics and some of the cheesiest synthesizers ever put on record. The best thing about the whole album is Chris Squires phenomenal bass playing.
90125 is a good pop album. Also the last good album they did until Magnification.
I'm supposed to upload some stuff for that MDHTV guy, which I haven't gotten down to doing yet. When I do I'll send the rest of Yes's 70s stuff to you.
