[vam1972]

Одна из вершин творчества Gentle Giant. Музыканты умудрились смешать тихий звук фолка, экспрессию рока, духовую
секцию и некоторые традиционные приемы средневековых мадригалов. Полученные уникальный коктейль вывел Gentle Giant в лидеры тогдашнего английского прог-рока. The Boys In The Band и Dog's Life кажутся мне на этом альбоме самыми удавшимися.
