2 stars Since this album came out after "Giant For A Day", I can't say I was disappointed. But really, this was hardly an improvement over the previous record.

There are tiny glimmers of the old Gentle Giant here. Underground, the best song on the album (faint praise at best), could have squeezed it's way onto the tolerable "The Missing Piece", but would have been one of the lesser songs on that album. And here and there, you can hear bits of arrangements that let you know that this is Gentle Giant.

But the best I can say about this album is that it is no worse than those dismal 1980s genesis atrocities.

Evolver | 2/5 |
