| 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. |

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. |

Sorry, but Under Construction is pissing awful. It's like a whole double album of annoying "studio runthrough" bonus tracks. Gah!! |

5 different views, all about the same quality. I would score them all in the 7.5 to 8.5 range and consider them their best, just ahead of those previous, in between and after. Octopus Three Friends Free Hand In a Glass House The Power and the Glory |
