GIANT FOR A DAY

"Giant for a day" is again a wrongly chosen album title that suggests a good familiar progressive music by the band. It starts on a relatively good note by strongly reminding of the modern Yes (vocals, rhythm section) but the music gets even more straightforward (and boring) after that. GG produce mildly memorable melodies and vocals got more digestible ("It's only good-bye" is a good attempt). Apart from 2-3 songs, the album is really bland. The lyrics could not have been earnest after years of high standards. This is best to be avoided or forget about the Gentle Giant moniker to avoid disappointment.
