2 stars I'm going to offend alot of people with this review, but here goes:) First of I am a major Genesis fan, always have been, but how this album gets 2 stars nevermind 4 is way beyond me!!! This album is so badly recorded it is almost unlistenable!!!! IMHO Trespass has far superior production values:) The ideas and songs on this album get 4 stars, the execution gets none from me sorry:) I don't know what John Anthony was doing in the studio on this one, but someone was asleep at the controls. This album sounds like a dull noise with no highs or dynamics, which might appeal to post rock fans but not to symphonic rock fans! All the instruments are buried in the mix in this plodding mess! If the original group re-unites they really should re-record this album and give the songs the treatment they deserve(just look at how great Fountain of Salmacis sounds on Three Sides Live:)) Sorry to offend but this album in my opinion is their worst!
