@@pinkyfloydyfan1 You'd be thinking wrong then. I LOVE Prog, and I also love many other types of music. Interview has my favorite GG song, "I Lost My Head" so it gets extra credit there, and I also love the variety and different places they go sonically on that album. Oh, Interview tied with Free Hand, but the tie breaker was I Lost My Head.

I like the stars ratings and subscribed. Have all their albums up to Interview and find it very hard to rate them. But the last three are really weak specially Giant For A Day with maybe one good song. So while Missing and Civilian get 2 stars, GFAD only one

To me, Free Hand is the best album. All tunes are good. In the others albums, there is always a couple of tracks bad. Rivers on octopus , second track on In a glass house. On Free Hand no need to fast forward your cassette tape deck! It is various and complete. But there is fantastic songs on the others album. But you have to lift the needle sometimes on the 33!!

Those aren't really ratings. You're saying they're all great and a few are just good. And sorry -- "Giant For a Day" is pretty universally regarded as absolutely awful and even they admit as much.
