ACQUIRING THE TASTE

This is album is another absoloute masterpiece, I'm quite shocked to see Gentle Giants albums see such low marks, even if you don't enjoy the music it is undeniable that this group were an extremely talented bunch of musicians, as close to modern musical genius as I've heard. This album has quite a dark feel to it and is another insight to the massive array of musical moods, quirky patterns and timings. This sort of music is a challenge to listen to and I wouldn't want it any other way, what's the point in have music if it's catchy and gets boring after a few listens? With this you must concentrate on the music with an open mind, listen to it by yourself either loud or with headphones (and a spliff if you enjoy that sort of thing) and I can almost guarantee you'll enjoy it more everytime you listen to it (and with any other Giant album from their first to Interview) and eventually you might grow to love it.
