Free hand is the seventh album from Gentle Giant and one of their best albums IMO. After The Power and the Glory which was the predecessor to Free Hand, Gentle Giant must have felt extremely inspired for Free Hand to come out as well as it did. I think The Power and the Glory is the weakest of the first six albums from Gentle Giant ( itīs not weak at all compared to other prog rock albums of course, only compared to the other five albums. Interview is the eigth album from Gentle Giant. Their last album called Free Hand was very successful both artistically and to a certain degree commercially ( this is prog rock. A band like Gentle Giant didnīt sell a million copies). All seemed well within the band with a stable lineup now for the last 4 albums and lots of creative and innovative musical ideas.

Who would believe me now that my hands are free, that my hands are free I never thought it would ever come to me, ever come to me Now that my life's my own, I leave you behind, leaving you behind What ever made you think that I'd change my mind, that I'd change my mind

And the results are simply compelling. Introduction: From their very first album back in 1970, Gentle Giant have done things their way, and only their way. In comparison to other progressive bands around at the time like Yes and Genesis, these guys pushed the boundaries in terms of technicality and instrumentation. Many instruments were utilized to maximum effect throughout their career

Free Hand was the seventh album by prog legends ‘Gentle Giant’. Another artistic triumph for the band, it has endured as one of their best-loved releases. Musically, the album drew on an eclectic range of styles, though jazz and Renaissance music were its defining influences. The latter found its apogee on the vocal gymnastics of ‘On Reflection’, whose opening four-part fugue remains one of Gentle Giant’s (and prog’s) defining moments. Elsewhere, opener ‘Just The Same’ pairs strong vocal hooks with glam rock handclaps and jazz fusion stylings. Free Hand’ and ‘Time To Kill’ are perhaps the most straightforward rock songs, though both are graced with myriad twists and complex time signatures
