3.5 REALLY.

I prefer ATOTT to W&W. I know I say that I prefer Collins as a ballad singer, but for heaven's sake, I'm not looking for a cure for insomnia. It's too bad that a bad song can hurt an album way more than a great song can redeem it. "You Have your Own Special Way" could be one of my least favorite Genesis songs. Sometimes I wish that I allowed myself to skip tracks when listening to albums. It DRAAAAGS on forever. I'm a fan of instrumentals and segues into songs, but Jesus, is "Unquiet Slumbers For The Sleepers..." really necessary. The album would be exactly the same without it.

The Eleventh Earl of Mar and One For the Vine are great treats. But the real redemption comes from Blood on the Rooftops. Hackett really shines on the acoustic guitar. This along with Horizons complete Hackett's acoustic resume. I listen to this track, and can simply smile.

3.5/5 I wasn't sure whether or not to round up or down, but I gave ATOTT a 4/5, and this album should really be rated below it.
