FOXTROT

While there is some very good music on this album, I just don't see it as being that essential to a prog enthusiast. I refuse to agree with the majority that Supper's Ready is one of the best epics ever. In my opinion, it's dull and offers very little substance both lyrically and musically. I think that Can-Utility and the Coastliners is the highlight of the album, with Time Table and Horizons offering some good stuff in smaller packages. Watcher of the Skies doesn't do much for me. It starts off slowly and never seems to go anywhere. Get 'em Out By Friday is fun and is a nice change of pace on this album. While I like this album, I cannot in good conscience give it more than three stars. It's good, but it's just not "essential."
