Wow, this one took my totally by surprise.

I bought this one expecting more of the same Gentle Giant that we're all used to - complex, melodic, and ultimately satisfying music. Don't get me wrong - I got that, except about ten times more from this pariticular album than others such as Free Hand and The Power and the Glory.

In a Glass House has an edge that other GG albums just don't have. What is that, you ask? First of all, if they were to ever perfect the hyrbid of chalenging and melodic music, they've done it here. You'll notice more melodies present on this album than, let's say, Three Friends or Power. It's a very welcoming style that was, strangely, only adopted for one album, but I guess all bands have to change at some point, eh?

There really isn't anything else I could say - it's all been said before. This album is a masterpiece. If every Prog band has their magnum opus, or album that truly represents the bulk of where the band's true talent lies, this would be the one for GG. A must buy.
