It's quite difficult to say which album is the better one, isn't it?
1.) In a glass house: Experience
2:) Octopus: The boys in the band

This is like choosing between CTTE and Relayer, Foxtrot and SEBTP, Animals and WYWH.
I can't do it.

I admit it,
It's not easy to chose between these two MASTERPIECES!
There's also parity in the voters' opinion!

I voted IAGH, but Octopus was my first GG. So I made it equal, interesting.

Octopus is in my opinion, the most consistent of the two records, but the highlights of IAGH ("Runaway", "Experience" and the title track) are so transcendentally beautiful they greatly outweigh the more inferior tracks ("Way of Life").
The most resonant of all the albums: the closing track really takes me on a vivid trip which is something little else of Giant's music manages- not that there's anything worng with that!
Definitely the most symphonic album, as well; if only more Gentle Giant albums had this sound!! Overall not liked by the band itself, I understand, except for Kerry (he's a right smart lad, then!)

In A Glass House
I think GG were better after Phil Shulman's departure (as Kerry Minnear got the opportunity to contribute more to the band).
