Octopus" is the first album on which GENTLE GIANT really found their sound and style: less hard rock, extremely rhythm changing, very progressive and rather nervous, full of pauses. You also have many pleasant & unbelievably charming melodic & dissonant moods. Everything is perfectly synchronized and VERY structured. There is a perfect balance between the NUMEROUS instruments involved: electric & acoustic guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, vibraphone, cello, saxophones, trumpet, mellophone, bass violin and xylophone among others: no one wants to steal the show

Returning to Gentle Giant's fourth album after any kind of lengthy absence, it's astonishing just how little Octopus has dated. Octopus, however, marries the two seamlessly, with the cover speaking for itself, of course . And the end result is an album that has withstood the test of time a lot better than anyone might have expected.

Notes
Reissue cover does not have diecut like the original.This was obviously previously a Columbia release but the word "Columbia" is professionally inked-out 3 times both on front and back covers. The Columbia logo below the inked-out "Columbia" on the top left-hand corner of the front cover, however, is not inked-out. There is no identification of the record label on the labels themselves (see scans).
Stamped, small ᠐ indicates that it is a Customatrix Mastered Pressing.
