Gentle Giant | DeRank™: 0,40

The paradigmatic prog group. They had their golden age when prog had its golden age (’70-’75) and they produced the last good proper prog album in 1976 when the last "good" year was 1976. They disbanded as the ’80s approached with perfect timing, just like many of their peers should have done. Technique in spades but also a decent catchiness. The only non-prog thing about them: the generally short duration of their tracks. They never overindulged with epic suites. For me, a lifetime 5 stars.
My personal rating:
Gentle Giant = 7.5
Acquiring the Taste = 8.5
Three Friends = 8.5
Octopus = 9
In a Glass House = 8
The Power and the Glory = 8
Free Hand = 7.5
Interview = 7
The Missing Piece = 6.5
Giant for a Day = 5.5
Civilian = 6 more

Perhaps his masterpiece. Good rhythm, but the bass and drums are much more appreciated on vinyl compared to the CD. It sold a lot. more

I love P.F.M., but it's a celebration, and I hate its English version just as much as I love the band. As they say, every family has its black sheep, and for me, the black sheep of P.F.M. is this one. more

The rock twist makes her an ordinary singer with no musical qualities. More than an album, this is a muddle lacking imagination and often redundant. more

When an album contains two CDs with the same tracks but created in two different genres, what does it mean? Commercial music made like bread but in a different way? Anyway, the music is pleasant. more

Five stars for life for the Police era, 4 stars for the first four solo LPs up to 1993, where it ranges from good (Soul Cages 1991) to excellent (the remaining three), with the rest being negligible (but with flashes of class here and there) until today, where it earns only 3 stars. Average: 4 more
