Mr. Gentle Giant
5 stars INCREDIBLE!!!!

I just adore this album, I can never go wrong with sticking this on the turntable and giving it a spin. One of my favourite albums of all time, an absolute classic.

To start off this masterpiece we have the incredible GIANT, what an opener to their debut. Such a proggy song coming in at a reasonable 6 mins and 22 seconds, an incredible song with very cool lyrics and instrumentation.

FUNNY WAYS, the first song i properly got into by this incredibly talented band, that violin by Ray is so good.

ALUCARD, amazing song but probably the weakest proper track on this album, very haunting

ISN'T IT QUIET AND COLD, the best song on side 1, I love the violin so much.

NOTHING AT ALL, immaculate song with some of the best acoustic guitar parts of any Gentle Giant song.

WHY NOT, why not make an incredible song on an already incredible album

and finally THE QUEEN, not really a full track but a great closer to the album.

In conclusion this album is my favourite Gentle Giant album, the musical diversity is definitely here.

Mr. Gentle Giant | 5/5 |
