It's a damn good album but I do agree that it's the weakest of the classic 7. I guess because it's more miminalistic like you said. And I'm not a huge fan of the story concept. Lyrics were never one of GG's strong points.
That being said. Prologue is easly one of my favorite Gentle Giant songs.
Kerry shines a bit more on this album I agree, the bombastic instrumentation GG use is a bit toned here, there's more of a mellotron/moog sound.
Boobs' picks: Prologue, Schooldays, Mister Class & Quality.
