5 stars Now this is what i call and overhyped and overrated album, to only great song on here was the first genesis song i ever heard and its allso the first song on the album and its also still the best genesis song i have ever heard yet, and of course its: "Dancing with the moonlite knight" so my reaction when i heard that song was woow this is great if the rest of the songs on the album are this good or yust half this good its a great album. So i bought it hoping that i was buying one more masterpiece to my album collection but it dident realy turned out that way becaus the monolite knight was easely far and away the best song on the album sadly the rest is good but nothing more and one great song and some good ones and some realy bad ones dont make a great album or a masterpiece in my book. Here is what i think of the songs "I know what i like..." a nice pop tune, "more fool me" a pice of shit totaly crapy pop tune, "Firth of fifth" is the only song on the album that comes close to the "moonlite knight" but still its miles away. And then there is from what i have heard whats supose to be the epic track of the album "Battle of epping forest" and it has some good parts but the section in the middle destroys the song completly and the rest dosent go anywhere so its only a good song nothing more, After the ordeal is nice, the cinema show leaves me cold i dont feel anything only bad feelings and hoping it to end and the last song is filler. Thats it that what you get no way is this a 5 star album, its realy pity how overrated this record is its a 3 star album nothing more nothing less. So Moonlite knight is problobly the best genesis song i will ever hear allong with some great ones from Foxtrot becaus i dont see much poind in buying many more albums form this lame band. I have Foxtrot and that a much beter album no doubt about that any one who say anything else must be def, but i dont have Lamb lies down on broadway so i dont know if thats a great album or not so that probobly the last album i will ever buy from Lamesis, well if lamb is great meby i buy more but i dont think so.
