Yeah me too. This one hasn't clicked yet; hopefully it's just a matter of more listens. So far it doesn't seem very musical...just a bunch of sounds they tried to string together.
I grew up with it so I love it, but it is their most 'out there' album. I mean, it's four 20 minute long songs so they weren't really going for catchy radio-friendly hits which is exactly what I like about this album, although I love their more focused catchy stuff too. I think of Tales as more of a spiritual and meditative experience.
By the way, what do you think of the overall sound quality and mix?

As I mentioned in another thread - I've never heard this album, so this is my first listen. So far, I LOVE it...and OK, I recognize Summer's Cauldron and Grass! (Edit - Whoa....I also recognize "Dear God") Wow, who would have thought??? No clue where I've heard those songs - as I promise no one I hung out with back in the day were a fan of this band....hmmmm.
No problem with that part; on par with the other SW Yes releases.
As sprawling as these songs are, it might take a while to really get into it. Maybe just ease in to it a little at a time, or you could just listen to it all the time like I do. I think it's the bees knees. Also, a good buzz might help, if you're into that kind of thing.
