"And The Glass Handed Kites is a record that works better as a complete album than as a collection of songs. This was recognized by the band, as they created seamless transitions from track to track. The transitions create a structure wherein the songs are movements within the larger framework of ..." [+] Reply

"This is my fav. It has it all, love, pain, strife, anger, joy and hope. It's been a great pleasure to listen to Pete's best and rediscover this periodically throughout my adulthood" Reply

"The first four songs and the last song are WT classics, and among their best material. The rest? Meh...more the same. Still, those five songs are enough to make this a critical release for the genre. This album showed that WT was better than Evanescence." Reply
"I think this is easily her best album. Some great songs and some that don't get your attention at all. Pretty good overall though." Reply

"The best was yet to come, but this isn’t a bad metal record by any means. All the Rob Halford style screeching that Tom was doing felt a little forced and awkward, but the tunes are fun head banging, genre pushing heart pounders." Reply

"I'll echo the same sentiments. This is Dacus's best record yet. The songwriting is sharper, tighter, and more soulful than before. Love that she's leaning into some more intense moments--both sonically and lyrically. Excellent stuff right here." Reply

"A precursor of what was yet to come. This is a very good album and the presence of Neil Peart in the drum stool countered with his lyrical expertise hints to exciting times ahead. Anthem and By Tor set the scene for the classics which will follow" Reply

"WTF is 'baroque shoegaze' when it's at home? Some phased vocals and effects pedals aside, I've always seen Giant Steps as a 90s White Album, in which a bunch of scousers (namely a guitarist with frizzy hair and a bald geezer) borrow a dog-eared copy of the Great Merseyside Songwriters Handbook fr..."
