GIANT FOR A DAY

Second part of the 'pop' trilogy and I still can't figure what went through the Schulman brothers mind when they wrote this album other than tiring of turning blank sheet notes into black pages, this album is pure 70's pop-rock with very few connections to their classic phase from 70-76. Interestingly enough though, "Spooky Boogie" samples a few melodies from past albums, haunting the poppy tunes that fill the rest of the album, mwaha. Barring that, there are still several very good tunes here, including the signature song "Words From the Wise" that features all five band members on lead vocals, with the usual superb musicianship, but rating this here on archives makes it just under two stars overall.
