Average Rating: 
Rating: - A chilling and thrilling Prog. Rock album
This was my first look into Gentle Giant's world, and it was a thriller! I saw that this was one of their more popular albums, and even though it was the most expensive, I purchased it. I don't regret it at all, and it was worth every penny. There are many intricate movements, and it is all done with complexity worthy of an essential Progressive Rock album. Yes and ELP fans will be happy with this album, even though it is very different from their material. Overall, it is an essential addition ... Read More
Rating: - many fans favorite
For fans of the band this album represeted a change in the Giant sound.The production is clinical the sound quite spikey which perfectly complements the six tracks. There is less sax and ensemble string arrangements and gary greens guitar comes more to the fore. The songs are vintage GG with great arrangements. A record of great invention still sounds like it was made yesterday.

The original album was 37 minutes. This has an additional 20 minutes of bonus live material.
There is a 30th Anniversary version of In A Glass House coming out soon. It will be much cheaper than this CD. I understand ... Read More
Rating: - Delicious
This CD has so many tasty snipits in it...I can't get enough of each of them. As I seem to recall, this was the last "version" of the band that I had enjoyed so much. They got much noisier down the road. This is more in line with Octopus, Acquiring the Taste and Three Friends.
Rating: - Oh God, "In a Glass House" on CD, FINALLY!
I just ordered my CD so I can't tell you anything about this remastered version. But I can tell you that this is a superb album, and that this band had a level of invention and musicality that absolutely amazed listeners back in an era when invention was not uncommon. I DID hear Gentle Giant live, and were even better than their basically perfect studio records. I have bought every Gentle Giant CD I have found and I had no clue why this one wasn't out there, since it is among the best albums they ... Read More
