5.0 out of 5 stars Prodigieux! Jan 19 2005
By "lulu_rousseau"
Format:Audio CD
Je suis une fan de GG depuis mon adolescence. Je les redécouvre à nouveau et selon moi, In a Glass House est le meilleur album de ce groupe prodigieux. Quels virtuoses que ces cinq musiciens! Ces gars sont des génies! Dans cet album, les paroles, les arrangements, la production, la musique, tout est parfait! Je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter. Et dire que je les ai vus en spectacles en janvier 1975... wow!!! Je vous recommande cet album sans hésiter!

5.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic Prog Heaven Feb 29 2012
By my point of view
Format:LP Record
If you like King Crimsons Larks Tongues/Red phase,
you will very likely find this to be a welcome dose of ear candy.

If you already like Gentle Giant, and are familiar with their Octopus album,
consider this a more fully realized version of that album,
in that the songs here are longer and more developed.

If you are new to Prog Rock,
and think Dark Side of the Moon is the most creative
thing you have ever heard, well, its time to take yourself to school.......

5.0 out of 5 stars Deluxe reissue of classic album July 17 2004
By Wayne Klein
Format:Audio CD
Gentle Giant's last fully formed masterpiece never even saw a US release. This paved the way for the former Giants themselves to reissue it in this deluxe edition complete with crystal clear remastered sound plus two bonus live tracks recorded in, respectively, 1974 and 1976 during their European tours. Ironically, Gentle Giant had a larger following in the US than in Europe at the time which makes it doubly ironic that this album, perhaps their finest, never saw an "offical" release in the US on vinyl.

From the unusual percussive opening of "Runaway" with its use of the sound of breaking glass as the initial backbeat to the parade of recorders that sets up the stunning four part harmony of the middle eight, the opening track grabs your attention like no other Giant track before or since.

The odd "Inmates Lullaby" with its off kilter percussion and twisted nursery song melody jumps right out at you. It's an example of a band who believed in pushing the limits of what they could do musically and still not lose their audience. There isn't a weak track on the album and the inclusion of the two live tracks make this the ultimate "House" for fans. The sound quality varies a bit on these two live tracks (they were recorded by fans and cleaned up for release here) but the spirit and performances certainly make them worth it.

To top it off we get a replica of the original sleeve including the marvelous original "plastic window". The inner sleeve is a replica of the original with lyrics and notes on this new edition of the album. Although GG would continue to sail at this level for a number of other albums (including the marvelous "Free Hand" and underrated "Interview"), this captured the band at their peak. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best GG Album
I remember buying the import of this many years ago. As a young student, it was a lot of money but it was worth it. I do not think it was ever released in the States. Read more

This is one of the BEST prog albums ever recorded.

Period.

And it's GG's best album, hands down (no pun intended, there...). Read more

Gentle Giant's fifth album, 1973's "In A Glass House," had a little bit of difficulty upon it's original release. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best experimental rock bands
Originally released as an import only in 1973, its great to see it available again. Having seen them live in 1977, I can attest to their musical prowess. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Looses out on Power+Glory and Octopus
It's too smooth, the pleasurable edge of Power+Glory or Octopus is missing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not the least bit irritating!
In a Glass House is a superb work of progressive rock recorded in 1973 that is complex in the traditional Gentle Giant way, yet is neither overbearing nor irritating. Read more

My understanding of the history of this recording is that the band wrote it are finished recording it within a two week time frame, shortly after they had completed Octopus. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The Essence of prog-rock
This album is simply all that prog-rock is about but still it hasn't got one cliche on it. This is truly PROGRESSIVE, not just rock songs spiced with occasional 7/8-parts. Read more
