Yes - Tormato (1978) [Full Album]

Tormato is the ninth studio album by English progressive rock band Yes. It was released on 22 September 1978 on Atlantic Records, and is their last album with singer Jon Anderson and keyboardist Rick Wakeman before their departure from the group in 1980. After touring their previous album Going for the One (1977), the band entered rehearsals in London to record a follow-up. The album was affected by various problems, such as internal disputes over the direction of the music and artwork, and the departure of engineer Eddy Offord early into the sessions, resulting in the group producing the album themselves.

The album received a mixed response from critics but became a commercial success. It reached No. 8 in the UK and No. 10 in the US, where it became the band's fastest selling album and reached platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America within two months for selling one million copies. "Release, Release" and "Don't Kill the Whale" were released as singles. "Release, Release" was a Canadian exclusive single. "Don't Kill the Whale" managed to reach No. 36 in the UK. The band's 1978–1979 tour was their first with concerts performed in the round on a central revolving stage.
