  • Overall:

    Excellent.

  • Overall:

    Free Hand is perhaps Gentle Giant's most realized effort.

Despite the complexity of the arrangements, the music never sounds academic and in fact is very accessible thanks to several melodic hooks. The combination of superb musicianship, dry wit, and creative compositions make this an essential and historical recording.
