...Pawn Hearts is where they start to shine IMO. I have always had the greatest respect for Van der Graaf Generator as musicians and innovators but never found that their music suited my prefered style. As many others I have always had an ambivalent relation to Peter Hammills theatrical singing, but this time it seems his voice suits the music...

...Pawn Hearts". And you know what? I found out you can never go wrong with VDGG As I pointed out just now and out of first spin of the record on my player, I ended up feeling quite shocked and somehow intrigued because of what I listened to on "Pawn Hearts". The rare sounds and their evolution happened to make sense to me in this unease way...

...PAWN HEARTS looks like a masterpiece on paper, there are so many ticks I have with this album that seem to drag it down. We have on the album three big pieces, all of them exceeding ten minutes with a 23-minute mammoth of an epic. The problem with all three is that they either go on longer than necessary or have parts tossed in that are...

VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR - Pawn Hearts (1971) [rated 3/5 by ringo]

...Pawn Hearts was unorthodox and not for the faint of heart, and despite the fact that the majority of reviewers believe this to be a five-star album, I do not agree. I am not writing this simply to add another not so great review to counterpoint the majority, but more to emphasize the point, for those who may be trying VDGG for the first time...

...Pawn Hearts' brilliance Lemmings and Man-Erg are near masterpiece quality, but the epic brings things down a bit in my book--of course, opposite to the beliefs of most reviewers. Even with a bump for historical purposes and pure creative effort, I can't quite give Pawn Hearts the masterpiece status by Flucktrot VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR...

Pawn Hearts is commonly voted by progressive rock fan purists as their favourite Van der Graaf Generator album. I am not one of those purists and, for me, it is their least pleasing album Chronologically sandwiched between H to He Who Am The Only One and Godbluff this album suffers from less discernable melodic writing in both the vocal and...

...Pawn Hearts, Van Der Graaf Generator, 1971 StarStarStarStarStar If music is a form of expression, Pawn Hearts is surely a masterpiece of music. The lyrical and musical content fit together seamlessly, oozing depressive and mournful moods into the listener's mind, and Hammill's vocal delivery only further improves the intentionally convoluted...

Pawn Hearts is the last album of the first phase of VDGG, it will be another 4 years before they reunite to make happen the for me best part of their excistense. But this is still a classic album from a great progressive band. Stylishly the first phase of the band comes close to bands like King Crimson, and later Itallian Prog artists like Banco...
