The exceptionally talented Rock group Yes have released their CD entitled Tormato. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Yes fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Tormato their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
The nice thing about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Rock isn't your favorite style you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the musicians.
Listen and I think you'll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Yes is clearly a group that is in top form.
While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 3 - Don't Kill The Whale, track 9 - On The Silent Wings Of Freedom, and track 18 - Everybody's Song.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Future Times. Wow!
