5 stars Probably the BEST work of Gabriel era Genesis. The disc begins with Gabriel praying for his country, 'Dancing with the Moonlit Knight' is what we would call the perfect example of Progressive Rock: great lyrics and great instrumental performance, progressions carefully measures show that Genesis is almoust a perfect band. 'I Know What I Like In Your Wardrobe': pop song structure with a curious point. The interpretation of Gabriel, Collins and Rutherfoord especially given a special flair ... and now comes the gem, the jewel of strange lyrics called "Firth of Fifth ', with a great introduction by Banks and one incredible great Steve Hackett. A masterpiece of Symphonic Rock. 'More Fool Me': many critics do not understand this song, the beautiful voice of Phil gives a twist to an album in which all will look for something is the great masterpiece of Genesis. After the beauty of 'More fool me' come two pieces of progressive cutting those shows because Mr. Gabriel is the best lyricist-singer in the history of Progressive Rock. No rest reaches the sublime 'The Cinema Show' ... The song, as Banks is tremendous and almost always say the other ... pure genius. 'Aisle of plenty' closes this album with a melody almost similar concept to 'Dancing with the Moonlit Kinght'. MASTERPIECE. 5 STARS without thinking.
