GIANT FOR A DAY

Giant For A Day is the second album in Gentle Giant's pop foray, and is ultimately a very uninspired album. It's extremely bland pop-rock, sometimes just pop. There is absolutely nothing in the way of technicality or progressive musicianship or songwriting. I've tried listening to this album many times hoping to enjoy it as just simple music, but it really is just unbearably boring. By now, the interesting instrumentation and medieval influences are totally a thing of the past. I wouldn't recommend this album to anyone, friend or foe of Gentle Giant, but perhaps this is a good collectors item and has a fairly decent album cover.
