Well as regards Genesis, I assume you would agree with me that Nursery Cryme was a significant leap forward, and Foxtrot yet another leap to a plateau that they maintained through the remainder of the Gabriel era into the early Collins era. This is kinda like that. The first GG album has moments but they had a lot of development in front of them. I'm just saying not to give up on Giant until you've heard their fully developed music.
If you haven't done so yet, Trollheart, I encourage you to read my review of Three Friends that I linked to in my review on this thread. That was the beginning of their greatness
I understand the premise of this thread demands reviewing the listed albums.
