A Reunion ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

| I like Inmate's Lullaby and respect it for trying something different.... but it's not entirely successful. |

Okay, if it weren't for the xylophone on Inmates Lullaby I would love it to death. But because of the cool parts it does get the edge over A Reunion, which is a bit bland to me. ------------- http://fryingpanmedia.com |

| I love the whole thing, one of my favorite albums. If I had to choose I think I'd choose An Inmates Lullaby. |

oh god that is easy... GG uncorked some stinkers in their later post-Phil years.. but none was the steaming pile of sh*t that Way of Life was.... enough to knock a 4 star album down to 3 star according to the Encyclopedia Mickia. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

The 2nd half of the title track is pretty dated ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |

| This is one of those '6 out of 5's' for me. But the track I find a touch weaker, is A Reunion, though it is very pretty. This album blows me away with every listen to this day ( got it mid-90's, thereabouts), as do all their albums before this one. |

'Inmate's Lullaby but it still fits in with the scheme of the album. Couldn't be replaced. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

This is one of my very favourite Gentle Giant albums. This is a rare GG album where I couldn't choose a track -- every one is special and adds well to the textures of the whole to me. Picking up on some comments: I love the xylophone in An Inmate's Lullaby, Way of Life is not irritating to me, it's one of GG's very best songs to me (took me a while to fully love it), and Reunion is so beautiful (such a pretty song). ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |
