Album Notes & Community Reviews
Structured as a faux-conceptual radio interview mocking the music press, Gentle Giant's eighth studio album is a brilliantly dense, staggeringly technical showcase. 'Interview' relies heavily on highly complex, shifting time signatures and intensely quirky avant-garde arrangements, resulting in a wonderfully playful, fiercely progressive, and highly demanding jazz-rock experience.
