Title: The rockiest Gentle Giant album
Review: In this album Gentle Giant is playing the role of a stripped rock band, something like Jethro Tull's Too Young to Rock'n'Roll, Too Young to Die, or Queen's The Game.There are hard-edge rock'n'roll numbers (Rock Climber, Little Brown Bag), passionate/greasy ballads (It's Only Goodbye, Thank You, No Stranger, Save Me), along with the parodian/punk/new wave-ish Giant For a Day, the instrumental Spooky Boogie (with xylophone/marimbas), the energetic and multivocal Words From the Wise and, finnaly, the beautiful accoustic Friends (composed and sung by drummer John Weathers).Although it's not among the best Giant albuns, it's a fine offering and to be properly appreciatted you must, of course, get into the mood.
