3 stars I only know this album from IQ. I feel that it is just a re-interpretation of old genesis music, but with a modern touch. The album starts with a 'watcher of the skies' type of intro that doesn't do justice to the original. Then it goes on with generic prog stuff, until 'harvest of soul' that is structured like 'supper's ready', so much, even the ending fading out on a guitar solo! The only thing missing is a little piece of classical guitar before it! I'm surprised they didn't think about it. You can't call it a masterpiece, cause you'd have to give the credit to Genesis in the first place. You better listen to your Foxtrot or SEBTP, album for the thousand times, this was pure genius, not IQ.
