The best work of Gentle Giant.

The only one record I really don't like is Giant For A Day, which is somehow stuck in between and sounds like the band searching for a new style, but not really succeeding.

Interesting take on the last two records. I prefer GFAD, but I like the argument made for Civilian. I'll rretry it sometime.

The test of an enduring band is the ability to meld so many facets into its work. Giant is the standard for this.

In every G.G work, there are a G.G signature, which are good sense, good taste, parts well instrumented in the music, with their respectives players.
High performances of everyone, telling about it:
I have a DVD named Giant in the Box, very good, the performance of the players are bombastic!!!
