  • Octopus (10/10)
  • In a Glass House (9.5/10)
  • The Power And The Glory (10/10)
  • Free Hand (9.5/10)
  • Interview (9.5/10)
  • Playing The Fool (8.5/10)
  • The Missing Piece (6.5/10)

As I said before Giant for a Day is not a bad album. It's still GENTLE GIANT, even if they're trying to mask it.

    • Gentle Giant (8/10)

    • Octopus (10/10)
    • In a Glass House (10/10)

    • The Missing Piece (7/10)
    • Giant For a Day! (1/10)
    • Civilian (2/10)
    • Under Construction (4/10) - Apart from the live tracks it's RUBBISH!
    • Giant on the Box (10/10)
    Those other two you mention are just live boots. Not really worth discussing IMO.


    Interesting, I can't see why people rate TMP so low when side 2 sounds like "Free Hand Cont." or why people rate GFaD! so high when it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever apart from crisp production. Likewise Civilian - the "it may be AOR, but it's really well done!" argument does not cut the mustard for me. IT'S GENTLE GIANT PLAYING AOR!! GENTLE GIANT ARE NOT AN AOR BAND!!!

    Giant on the Box is orgasmic though.
