THE MISSING PIECE

A typical 1.5 stars CD, if you ask me. I would not have rated this record that bad if this was not a prog-related site. But it is. So, if we call Gentle Giant one of the greatest art-rock groups ever, it's not because of this piece of music (and not because of the late releases in general). The songs are - well you can call it freaky poprock if you like. But compared to the earlier worls of the band it's simply nothing. The gap between "Interview" and "The Missing Piece" is much deeper as, let's say, the gap between "Wind & Wuthering" and "...And Then There Were Three" by Genesis. I think this is only for fans like me or other collectors who simply "want to have them all".
