I know you love them Shaun so I won't go to hard on them

I have to disagree with a few of those points fella
I think some of their lyrics are really good - "passion, we're children just playing with passion, losing our grip, falling asleep at the wheel" I think is a good example of some of their lyrical content from the song Innocent Days. Also bare in mind that Giant's last real album was released in 1992 so they didn't really have much of a chance to move with the times. The 2001 release of "III" was mostly made up of songs that didnt make the first two albums that had been re-worked a bit. I love em anyway.
btw - Nice pic in the sig lol
