Album Notes & Community Reviews
Considered too uncommercial to even secure an initial release in the United States, Gentle Giant's fifth album is a remarkably dense, unyielding progressive rock tour de force. 'In a Glass House' utilizes violently shifting, highly complex time signatures and surprisingly heavy acoustic instrumentation to craft a wonderfully quirky, intensely energetic, and deeply technical masterpiece.
