Tormato is meh for me.
Arriving UFO and Circus of Heaven are pretty awful, Don't Kill the Whale is too but in a so bad it's awesome kind of way. Release Relase and Future Times/Rejoice are not bad.
The two really good songs on the album are the last two tracks, Onward, which is a corny but lovely ballad, and Silent Wings of Freedom, which has some of the most awesome bass ever.
Squires excellent bass playing is the highlight of the album. What ruins it for me is the cheesy overblown production, the sounds of Wakemans synths on this album is just awful. Also the astonishingly awful lyrics. Not that Anderson was ever good lyricist, but at least up until this point it didn't matter, because you had no idea what they f*cking meant anyway, here you know what Anderson is trying to say (he wants to save the whales), and lets just say that Yes are a band who should just let the music do the talking.
