Delirium Kentia
4 stars This album definatly deserves a much wider audience! It mixes Medievil into rock into odd time signatures with effortless ease; shifting from such folky song like Raconteur Troubador into a hard-hitting piece like A Cry For Everyone. This album definatly has some of GG's more interesting and complex songs, and I, as many might agree, think this is GG's best album. In some sections you might here some Yes influences, in some sections a touch of ELP, and so on and so forth. This album never goes stale, as some might, and always challenges the listener to hear new, interesting sections within the piece. Definatly a 4 for this, or perhaps a 4.5! Ultimatly, this album deserves more attention from the prog. rock community.
