Think of Me With Kindness is very nice. I find it hard to choose one definite favourite though, the album is very even qualitywise.

"Think of Me With Kindness" is amazing. But I choose "The Advent Of Panurge"

My vote goes to 'Raconteur..' too. 'I've yet to explore GG fully, but 'Octopus' is one of those albums where there isn't a single weak track IMO. It would be in my top 10 prog albums of all time.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

It's impossible to indicate which track is the most interesting one, because all of tracks are excellent!

Was 'Think of me with Kindness' released as a single?? I'm sure they could have had a minor hit with that song.

Having listened to this album about six times earlier today, and 10 times in the past three, I'm well equipped to answer this question.

Knots! One of the greatest songs of all time, and the defining prog song that's not 43 minutes long and Thick as a Brick...

That said, as I pointed out in my recently revised review of the album, those eight songs are Gentle Giant's eight best.
