Gentle Giant / Giant For A Day (1978)


United Kingdom

Progressive Rock, Art Rock, Rock

Giant for a Day is the eleventh studio album by the British band Gentle Giant, released on September 11, 1978. This album shows a turning point in the band's history as it makes a shift towards pop/rock by turning away from progressive rock. Rather ignored by fans, it didn't even make the top 200 in the United States. For the first time in their career, the group did not give any concert to promote the album, preferring to wait for the next and last, Civilian, to organize a farewell tour and then they went their separate ways.
