GENTLE GIANT

With this debut, they clearly establish who they are. And that they are like no other band. I like the track Giant very much. Alucard is another favorite of mine. It shows what they have in store for later albums. Nothing at all does appeal to me less. Especially the second part of this track is a bit too much noodling for my taste.

Obviously Gentle Giant fans have to consider this a must. I'm not so certain if this applies to others as well. While great, I won't call this an essential listen.

I rate it 3.5 stars, rounded down for this site.
