FOXTROT

This is a fantastic album. Why? Maybe because it has one of my favourite Genesis songs on it: Can-Utility And The Coastliners. If you want to introduce Genesis to anyone who has never heard anything from their Gabriel-era you should really pick this brilliant song! But why not start with the whole album? Because all songs on it are great. There's no bad song on it, even the weakest song Time Table is very listenable. Horizons is a great instrumental song. The songwriting is great and absurdist (It is my sad duty to inform you of a 4ft restriction on humanoid height. or The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, the egg was a bird, Hadn't you heard?). The absolute highlight is, of course, the 23-minute epic Supper's Ready. A great diverse song from very sad parts (note the great flutework that gives you shivers, guaranteed!) to very corny parts (Willow Farm). This album doesn't get bored.
