About this album

Tormato shows Yes trimming some of the excess from their mid-’70s prog and leaning into shorter, more song-focused writing. Released in 1978, it was the band’s ninth studio album and the first after Going for the One, pairing complex musicianship with a more direct approach. “Don’t Kill the Whale” became the album’s best-known track, signalling a firmer sense of melody and message within the group’s intricate arrangements. Recorded during a period of change and scrutiny, the album reflects Yes balancing ambition with accessibility at the end of the classic progressive rock era.
