In 1973, Yes released their double-album “Tales From Topographic Oceans,” featuring four lengthy songs that divided fans and critics. The album marked a peak for the band but also led to internal conflicts, resulting in Rick Wakeman’s departure. Despite mixed opinions, the album’s intricate details and ambitious concept have left a lasting impact on prog rock. While some praise its musical journey and complexity, others criticize its bloated self-importance and overindulgence. Despite its divisive nature, “Tales From Topographic Oceans” remains a significant and influential release in Yes’ discography.
