About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The '70s model of Yes recorded Tomato in a morale slump and an impending haze of drink. There are some decent tunes, and "Don't Kill the Whale" was their last successful single for years; the soaring "Onward" helps redeem some of the weaker material, like "Arriving UFO" and "Circus of Heaven." Of special interest is the pounding "On the Silent Wings of Freedom," which pushes Chris Squire and Alan White to the front of the mix, establishing the kind of aggressive and straightforward rhythms that would propel the band through the '80s. Bass freaks, take note: this tune also marks one of the few appearances of the Dipthong pedal, accounting for Squire's distinctive "bow bow bow" sound. Paul Collins, All Music Guide

March 03, 2007: This album was to be titled Tor, but the reason it was changed to Tormato, because Rick Wakeman did'nt really like the cover, so out of his frustration he threw a tomato at the cover, and the album cover was cleaned off, but stilled left the remains of the tomato, and that's how Tormato was titled. This album is great all the way through, even through the bonus tracks. "Some Are Born" which appear as one of the bonus tracks would be featured on Jon Anderson's 1980 solo album Song of Seven. "Everybody's Song" is actually an early demo of "Does It Really Happen" which would later be on Yes' 1980 album Drama, which meant later, that Trevor Horn who would in fact replace Jon Anderson on vocals for the album Drama, and keyboardists Geoffrey Downes who would be Steve Howe's bandmate in Asia, replaced Rick Wakeman. As for Jon Anderson, his departure from Yes was only temporary, because he would return in 1983 for the 90125 album, which Jon Anderson's replacement Trevor Horn who later became a successful producer on that album as well. Symphonic pops fans would indeed enjoy this album as well, because some of the songs have orchestral tracks as well like on songs "Onward" and "Madrigal" which was arranged and orchestrated by Andrew Pryce Jackman, and every Yes fan would indeed enjoy it too.

August 04, 2004: If one considers that back in 1978, the Bee Gees were all over the radio, and the rock music climate had changed to new wave, punk and more formulaic rock such as Boston and Foreigner, that Yes would still make a decent album in the face of it all is impressive. Indeed when they came back from a three-year hiatuas after 'Relayer', in 1977 with 'Going for the One', they were entering the eye of a hostile musical hurricane that at the time deemed prog-rock (and Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd as well) to be irrelevant and dated. Which is what made 'Going for the One' all the better - they rolled with the punches and kept it up with 'Tormato', although G4t1 is better. If you get past that out of character album cover, there are some top-drawer Yes tracks on the album such as "On the Silent Wings of Freedom" and "Release, Release" - songs that if played at a Yes show today would be as welcome as "And You and I" or "Heart of the Sunrise". Not to mention that Chris Squire's bass sound is decidedly rubbery and more unique than on previous albums (always liked that aspect of the Yes sound)
