5 stars Today, for a long time, I put this to my stereos... Aah this is absolutely wonderful music. Tony Banks shines here, Collins never been better, Hackett is simply the best and Rutherford.. well good! This album is a mixture of Tresspass&Selling England, wonderful songs with awesome synthwork. The album starts with Dance On A Volcano, well it is the best opening I know (right after Dancing With The Moonlight Knight). The music is something unusual. Collins could have been Gabriel, at first listen you could think Gabriel sings here. Next Entangled, slow, progballad which grows stronger and stronger. Amazing. 3rd Squonk, mm might be the best song here, though everyone is quite amazing. Collins shows his ability as a drummer, well I think he is the best prog-scene ever had. Mad Mad Moon, the best song here (maybe). Wonderful pianowork, I mean, when you listen to this at 100% volume, it makes you weep =D... Robbery&assault&batter, this is the "catcysong" here. Great pop-prog song. Ripples could have been the best, but it doesnt reveal its true potential, they kinda just did this song in a hurry or something (oh no it is not bad, I just mean it could have been the best). Trick of the tail is great pop song with prog elements. I mean really really great, no that crappy pop... Los Endos, the must-instrumental-Hackett-song. Well it is amazing. All the music here... Wonderful Points overall: 9.85/10=5 stars
