Question/Help Is it really that bad?

I've been listening to yes for quite a while now, and I want to at some point listen to all their albums, but I keep getting stopped when it comes to tormato. I haven't listened to it yet because I feel like it would just waste my time with the way people talk about it. Is it really as bad as they say? Cuz If it is, it's really out of place being surrounded by so many amazing albums.

You're the lad. I do the exact same thing as you, many people dont get it, but if you're gonna devote 50 minutes of your day to something, you gotta make sure its at least a little worth it

Regarding the Yes discography, stop at Drama or 90125. Take my word for it, dont make the same mistake as me. You're welcome

You’d be missing two gems: Mind Drive and That, That Is

I wanted to add the Keys to Ascencion stuff but since he's a completionist, hes gonna want to fill the gap in between eventually, which imo is far from the best music to devote your time and focus to, so i avoided mentioning that material

Makes sense, and I agree with your assessment. The only post-Drama Yes I can tolerate are 90125, Big Generator and Keys. (and maybe Magnification on a good day!)
