Ok, this is a proggressive rock masterpiece by genesis which is the last Hackett-era studio album.

Eleventh earl of mar: a very good song, which has very good guitars by Hackett, great keyboard-work by Banks and solid bass by Rutherford. Complex and awsome progressive piece.

One for the Vine: The epic on this album. One of Bank's greatests compositions. Fantastic piano playing, heavy guitar work by Hackett and great lyrics sung with power by Mr.Collins. One of genesis' best.

Your own special way: A song by Rutherford. Nice acustic guitars, keyboards and vocals. The song flows in an excellent way.

Wot gorilla?: An instrumental by Banks and Collins. The intro is done with bells and stuff like that.Then you can hear Collins's drums and percussion doing a very catchy rythm. Tony's synth dominates this track and has some background guitar work. A weird and interesting piece to listen to.

All in a mouse's night: Anotherone by Master Banks. Awsome organ, synth and mellotron. Phil Collins's vocals represent the different caracters in a great way.

Blood on the rooftops: A song by Hackett and Collins. The intro is done with Steve's Horizons-like-trademark acustic guitar. The song features the mellotron played with softness crating a mysterious atmosphere.

Unquiet slumbers for the slippers...:A soft and mysterious track with contributions from Hackett and Rutherford, which leads to...

...in that quiet earth: One of my favourite instrumentals by Genesis. Great guitar and synth playing.

Afterglow: Anotherone of my favourites. A soft ballad with great organ and mellotron, guitars and powerful vocals. The ending is great. The mellotron is tremendously executed by Banks.

All in all, this is and essential masterpice of prog-music and an awsome goodbye to Hackett in the studio(Then he did his final farewell with "Seconds Out").
