Their first pop rock oriented album, although of good quality, now they play pop rock. Gentle Giant are turning and they will not compose more the music played before. The Missing Piece is anyway an album well made and well played.

The Missing Piece is a good album, light and lively, never trivial. Obviously, it's very far from their previous works, but the freshness is its strong point. A very good work, often overlooked.

Often underrated, in my opinion it's experimental and interesting.
