Their first album is my favorite. I feel like it's a pure, distilled blast of everything that makes Gentle Giant great. Octopus is a very close second. And Interview and The Missing Piece are a definite step down from the first seven but I do like them.
I want to thank you, Comus, for making this thread, since it was the reason I got into Gentle Giant back in 2009. The way you wrote so enthusiastically about them made them feel like a band I absolutely needed to check out, and I've been a huge fan basically ever since.
