4 stars An album full of the usual Gentle Giant hallmarks.

This album, their third album starts with the quirky Prologue. A six minutes long song which sets the tone for the rest of this album. An epic quirky song with many unusual twist and turns. These six minutes both sums up this album and Gentle Giant. And so this album continues.....

This album also sets Gentle Giant a part from the rest of the scene. For those of you who wonder what this eclectic prog genre is all about, listen to this album. Then you will get it. Songs like Working All Day is also typical for Gentle Giant with excellent vocals and musicianship. You never know what's around the corner on this album. Which makes this album such a great album. Three Friends is one of Gentle Giant's standard bearers. It is not perfect, but it runs this standard pretty close. My favorite song here is Peel The Paint on an album which never dips down below the great standard. Gentle Giant has arrived, pygmies beware.

4 stars
