5 stars Many consider 'selling england' as Genesis' peak. Yes it is very reasonable. This might be the best prog-rock album ever created. TOP5 of all albums ever.

Dancing With The Moonlit Knight: 10/10. PG:s voice here is amazing. This performance makes him the top-lyricist-songwriters-singer in prog-scene.

I Know What I Like: 8.5/10, the single in this album. Very catchy and little humorous song.

Firth of Fifth: 10/10, nothing to add. This performance makes (imo) Tony Banks the greatest keyboardist in prog-scene, this song is the best Genesis-song right after Supper's Ready, a masterpiece with very very few flaws.

More Fool Me: 9/10, something like 98% here dislikes this song. I like it, it it a beautifully sang ballad by PC, very good pop-song. Though it is slightly misplaced from this masterpiece.

The Battle Of Epping Forest: 10/10, most underrated Genesis-song I think. This is as good as Cinema Show or Dancing with... PG:s voices emotion changes every ten seconds, it is amazing.

After The Ordeal: 9.5/10, this is the MUST-BE acoustic song from Hackett, mostly. Very entertaining and beautiful song.

The Cinema Show/Aisle of Plenty: 10/10, the most known song from this album. A masterpiece in almost every aspect. This song never reaches the "boring moment." A Gem.
