5 stars An excellent album! It's quirky, epic, and beautiful. "Watcher of the Skies" commands your attention, then "Time Table" is like a peaceful cooldown. I like how "Get 'em Out By Friday" plays out like a mini opera. It's amazing how Peter Gabriel plays several characters in this piece, like a one-man theatre show. And the story is quite out there, which is pretty much expected. I love it anyways. The musical performance in "Can-Utility" in my opinion is the best out of the "shorter" songs, which are pretty much the first 5 songs. As for the song that follows the sweet little number "Horizons", what can I say about "Supper's Ready" other than it's a 23-minute sensational masterpiece. I enjoy all seven parts of this song, but my favourites are IKHNATON AND ITSACON, WILLOW FARM and APOCALYPSE IN 9/8. The song never bores me, neither does the rest of this awesome album.
