Wreck is probably my least favorite song from the album but everyone seems to consider it a favorite for some reason.
Favorite tracks:
Pantagruel's Nativity
Edge Of Twilight
The House, The Street, The Room
Black Cat
Plain Truth.
But Black Cat especially, I love how the lush strings and that spooky chamber music break in the middle, and how it contrasts with that groovy bassline from Ray (such an underrated bassist). I wonder why songs like this aren't FM radio staples, it should be playing right alongside ELO, Procol Harum and The Moody Blues.
I think GG are at their best when they go for bombast and whimsy, weither its the medieval stuff or the symphonic stuff or "everything and the kitchen sink" type stuff. I like some of their bluesier stuff but that's not what really draws me to this band.
