5 stars So sorry to all the fans of this group, but I remember when Peter Gabriel left the band I wished him "good riddance" because I thought then that his role within the group was very heightened and bordering in the monomaniacal. After hearing the mess they called "The Lamb Lies Down in Broadway". Anyway, when I bought this particular LP in a clothes store (yes, they used to sell imported LPs then in the most strange places in those days in Mexico) I still vividly remember hearig the mellotrons and the magic Hackett and Banks used to do together. I still have my doubts if I like better this record or "Trespass" but both of them seem important and pivotal records. There´s no filler here, all the songs have a personality of their own and just try showing me a better ending song than "Los Endos", just try. This is serious music from a serious group who were to face a sad destiny three records in the future. But back then, everything just clicked right. Perhaps you have noticed that I love this CD and it is right, let me say it again: I love this CD.
