5 stars What I can say about Foxtrot? Almost everything that I think about this album was said in previous reviews (for good or bad) and in other prog pages and music history books... No one can deny this album is one of the prog masterpieces of all times (like it or not) and one of the highlights into Genesis discography (anyway, my favourite still is SEbtP). Contanis a lot of inspirated moments and at least two songs that I consider part of the Top 10 into my personal Genesis I-Pod track list: the legendary Supper's Ready and the underrated Can-Utility and the Coastliners.

It's hard to find an epic like Supper's Ready: awsome solos, athmospherical and quiet sections, an amazing drum/keyboards duel during the Apocalypse in 9/8, Gabriel's vocals in their best moment, extraordinary symphonic sections and an epical grand finale... It's hard to find a beautiful acoustic guitar piece like Horizons... It's hard to find a mini epic like Can-Utility... full of amazing short epical sections, with this dark and overwhelming keyboard middle section... Really it's hard for me to find an album fulll of symphonic delicatessens like this one, a truly prog masterpiece of the 70's.

Give Foxtrot just 4.5* cos the 5* are deserved to SEbtP... But, man, this is an album which deseves to stay in any decent prog discography and you have to listen at leats once a month to remember how great was the 70's Prog...
