Does this have no good effect?   Logan and Starti: I  want to be honest, I own and heard: Gentle Giant Acquiring the Taste Octopus In a Glass House Tried to like them, made a good effort, but hated all, even later bought the expensive box set Giant on the Box, but no it's futile, no matter how hard I try, can't stand their excessive vocal dissonances, I see them as a sort of hybrid between Symphonic and Medieval Troubadouresque Folk, but IMHO they got the worst of both  worlds. I have Three Friends somewhere in the boxes (I'm moving very soon) but is cataliogued, I only heard this album but didn't listened it carefully, will give another chance, because that Baroque organ has surprised me.   Iván

Ah, well I'm glad you liked that track from "Three Friends".  They have a considerable amount of material that is not in that troubadour style. 

I think that it would have been good if Three Friends had been your first foray into GG.  I actually find quite a lot of variety in the music (ergo Eclectic), some is more hard rock etc.....  I might have thought that there'd be tracks that you'd like off various albums at least: say "Nothing at All", "Funny Ways" and the instrumental "Alucard" off the début.  Off Acquiring the Taste which I think more avant than other releases, I still might have thought you'd quite like "Plain Truth".  Off Octopus a lesser track, but the quite delightful "Dog's Life" and "In a Glass House" off In a Glass House I might have thought would have some appeal.
