Gentle Giant Plain Truth

[juresaiyan]

That bass! OH MY GOD THAT BASS!!!

[MKyd]

nice violin solo

[Ghoopty]

This is the worst song on this album. It's so, well, "plain" & unremarkable compared to the rest of Acquiring The Taste which is fucking magical (imo).

[ChronoKnuckles3]

@Ghoopty Are you flat out saying that this song is bad in a general sense?

[Ghoopty]

@ChronoKnuckles3 That is my opinion, yes.

[ChronoKnuckles3]

@Ghoopty I was asking, as a song by itself, is it bad?

Saying a song is bad by Gentle Giant standards isn't the same as saying it's bad.

Mainly because GG is so good to begin with.

[Ghoopty]

@ChronoKnuckles3 Yeah, I see where yer coming from. Gentle Giant is one of my Top 5 favorite bands (which is saying something), but even if this was a Kansas song, for example, I still don't think I'd listen to it. In the liner notes, they say, "We have recorded each composition with the one thought - that it should be unique, adventurous and fascinating". To me, this doesn't meet that criteria.

[ChronoKnuckles3]

@Ghoopty While it doesn't meet that criteria, it does seems like they had fun recording this song.

[Ghoopty]

@ChronoKnuckles3 Tru dat.

[crowmangone]

Excellent, happy, outrageous, critical, simply the best GG

[schpleeb]

[shimiwa]

[barrab]

@shimiwa Nigger died before these fellas were about.

[chazenlindo]

the best band of style

cheers from Brasil!

[MaidenFloydTallica13]

AWESOME!!! Kinda reminds me of Kansas,the vocal harmonies and the violin work.

[musicman14220]

@MaidenFloydTallica13 EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!

[grandpaseth18]

@MaidenFloydTallica13

Actually, Kansas reminds you of this.

[MaidenFloydTallica13]

@grandpaseth18 too true

[Ghoopty]

@grandpaseth18 Yeah, Kansas WISHES they could be this cool. Not in their wildest fucking dreams.

[musicman14220]

@Ghoopty kansas is just as good!haha

[Ghoopty]

@musicman14220 Yer opinion, I s'pose.....I don't think Kansas was ever as imaginative (or as accomplished) as these guys.

[DZA9mm]
