THREE FRIENDS

Probably one of my lesser liked of the great Gentle Giant records, although it's still extremely good. It's a fairly accessible record, and the vocals by Schulman are particularly good and varied here.

The tracks toward the end of the record seem to lack the quality that is found at the beginning. The record kind of wanes as it goes on, unfortunately. No doubt these guys are a class act and some of the best talent wise in addition to being extremely good songwriters. This is a little more vibrant than Aquiring the Taste, and has more rocking elements. A lot of what I like about GG is the delicacy they seem to have.

This is not one of my favorite GG records, but still worth your time and an overall good effort. The highlight for me was the beginning and ending riffs of Prologue.
