A concept album about the friendship between three friends, who find themselves forced to part ways to pursue their dreams, only to reunite after a thousand adventures... From a musical standpoint, well, I think words are unnecessary to describe it: an absolute masterpiece once again for the Gentle Giant discography, exactly between "Acquiring The Taste" and "Octopus". Damn how much I love them. more
a good album, to listen to from time to time with pleasure more
Alright, here you reach nirvana! Monstrous! Continuous evolution from Gentle Giant, both in terms of rhythm and melody, until this album arrives, the first true masterpiece, after the nonetheless grand debut album. Favorite songs: ALLL! more
Ah Bowie, Bowie, how many artists have you brought back to life from their ashes. more
Genius, beyond any capacity for definition. more
"And there ain't nothin' like a friend who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind." more
Monstrous even at their debut... gigantic band, even if the best is yet to come, heheheheh more
God with the Nikes more
The first two albums are a marvel. more
There's much worse out there. A band that is quite modest and a bit of a sellout. more
a beautiful and innovative record for its time, still enjoyable to listen to, whose beautiful sounds they later failed to maintain more
Great and unique Irish folk rock album from 1972 by a semi-unknown band composed of guys who started singing in a parish choir... more
Prog is perhaps the music that belongs to me the most, alongside classical, maybe because they are so similar. Usually, I prefer to listen to a piano concerto by Rachmaninov or Brahms rather than R. Strauss or Stravinsky. But sometimes, periodically, I find myself instead being swept away by the extraordinary beauty of the music of VDGG rather than my beloved Genesis. more
Forgive me, but I can't give this album a 5; maybe it's because I'm new to this genre of music, but for me, the first disc is quite challenging (that doesn't mean it can't be a masterpiece, for heaven's sake). That said, "Moon in June" is a chilling suite, and the last suite is another great track with real impact. My rating is 7.5. more
It's impossible not to include this record in an ideal disco, if only because it's one of the best-selling and most well-known in the history of pop music: over 25 million copies. A record that is both timeless and incredibly current. It was released in 1977, when punk was raging in England. On the other side of the ocean, on the west coast of the United States, however, people were thinking of something entirely different, giving life to what remains, in fact, the pinnacle of the Californian sound in its most pop interpretation. more
An ambitious and particularly challenging LP, at least for me during the first listens, truly unique in its kind, where R.W. manages to transform music into a cry of pain and despair, through which he communicates his new condition of life after the accident, although he subtly reveals a desire to live and hope in the final track. more
Great Great............... the first 2 albums are the story of pure ROCK/BLUES............ more
THE BLACK SABBATH OF HIP-HOP more
It has now been 45 years since then, and it is still exceptional and undoubtedly the most relevant among the early K.C. albums, even though for many prog has been surpassed for over 30 years and the K.C. have taken different paths, not remaining on the one from Lizard, which even today has no equal in terms of beauty, to be listened to again and appreciated even by those who do not love prog and jazz... more
