5 stars I think its needles to say anything about this album. WHA? in one word! Foxtrot starts with ah so amazing Watcher of the skies, man who this song just takes you to another dimension or something. I just get angry when somebody disturbs me when I'm listening to this, Gabriel might have improved vocals a bit, but the lyrics just comes and comes very fast out, almost impossible to sing. Then comes 'Time Table', an amazing piece of music, "the catchiest song" here, Gabriel sings so beautiful. Then 'Get e'm out by friday', Very much like "Battle of Epping Forest" but even better, the music is outstanding. Tony Banks shines and Hackett just blows away. One of the first great epics from Genesis. Then "Can-Utility and the Coastliners", some might say it is not a good song, but after a few listens it just blows your mind. The musicianship is just something unusual, I mean all of the members from Genesis were some kind of masters in their own instrument. 'Horizons', the "must-have-Hackett-acoustic-song", which is just perfect, beautiful opening for Supper's Ready, well which is... the best prog epic ever, almost everyone here agreeds that! From the calm 'Lover's leap' to the agressive Willow farm, is just that there is now flaw in this song. Drums, guitar, synths, especially vocals and even bass is just amazing! A must have if you listen to prog.
