CIVILIAN

The new decade offers new sound on Gentle Giant's last album - Civilian. They correct their mistakes from the last two albums - The Missing Piece and Giant for a Day, and produce nice album with hard rock flavour. The album carries the new tendencies of prog bands. They are no more progressive bands, but mainstream sounding bands. It's the same with Gentle Giant. They took another way, just before their break-up. Civilian is surely better than the last two albums and shows some fresh ideas. It's generally not prog music, but it's recommended for Gentle Giant fans and for 80s mainstream rock music. 3 stars, because it doesn't contain special moments. Gentle Giant finished their career with honour!
