Amazing
Everybody looks up to Foxtrot or Selling England as the quintessential Genesis albums, and I hope a lot more people think of this one. I can wholeheartedly say that the concept of this album is so magnificent that it's better than Pink Floyd's The Wall. There's always something new to listen for, and you can listen to this album fifty times over and still have the same reactions (trust me, I've tried). Also, the band itself is at its peak performance and musicianship. Mr. Gabriel ... read more

After Selling England dropped is when Genesis's music started feeling different. This is a great mix between genesis-type of prog and peter gabriel's solo songwriting.
An amazing concept album! This album is the skill peak of the band, and it just has so many great tracks. A few of them do not work as single songs, as the lyrics of the album to a high degree are telling a continuing story, but the album as a whole is just fantastic - Especially with the lyrics in front of you.
