From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giant for a Day is an album by British progressive rock band Gentle Giant which was released in 1978. The band's facility for counterpoint and medieval-themed arrangements had largely been abandoned by this stage in their career. Commercial success eluded them, while their original fan base began to grow restless. Signs of the end were in sight.
