dissidente

 If it’s possible to identify the exact moment when prog reached the point of no return, it must definitely be somewhere within these exhausting, endless, abominable four sides.

 Inspired by some accident involving a guru or mystical thinker... Farinelli queen voice unrolls a cascade of nonsense that would make you double over with laughter, were they not inserted into 'songs' with an average duration of twenty minutes.

This review critiques Yes' 1973 album 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' as the ultimate example of progressive rock excess. It humorously condemns the album's long, overwhelming tracks and grandiose themes, suggesting it represented a turning point that alienated many listeners. While the reviewer acknowledges some early Yes albums for their value, this particular release is portrayed as an indulgent mess marked by confusing lyrics and overblown performances. Dive into the wild world of prog rock and decide for yourself if 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' is a masterpiece or a disaster!
