Gentle Giant’s final studio album — tight, punchy art-rock with a sharper, more accessible edge.
Gentle Giant – Civilian
Format: Vinyl
Label: Chrysalis Records
Year: 1980
Released in 1980, Civilian marks the final chapter in Gentle Giant’s remarkable run — a streamlined, rock-driven album that shifts away from their earlier complex prog structures while still retaining their signature musical precision. With a cleaner, more contemporary production, the band delivers focused songwriting without abandoning their distinct character.
Featuring tracks like “Convenience (Clean and Easy),” “All Through the Night,” and “Inside Out,” the record showcases a band adapting to a new era while maintaining their high level of craft.
Notes: This was Gentle Giant’s last studio album before disbanding, originally released on Chrysalis Records.
A solid pickup for Gentle Giant collectors and fans of late-70s/early-80s art rock.
