CIVILIAN

Most people consider Giant For A Day to be the worst Gentle Giant album. For me, it is definitely Civilian. This album does absolutely nothing for me. At least Giant for A Day had some good tracks like "Words From the Wise", "Giant For A Day", and "Spookie Boogie". There isn't a single song on Civilian that I consider any better than mediocre. This is not progressive at all, and should not be remembered when thinking of a band as amazing as Gentle Giant. Avoid this hard/pop rock album by all costs, and go listen to The Power and the Glory, Octopus, of Free Hand again.
