5 stars Best album ever? No. Best prog album? No. But this album contains the best song ever: "Supper's Ready". All parts that emerge to this whole and complete body of song are just perfect and fit into place. It is simply the epic of epics. ("Close to the edge doesn't come near that - in comparison the Yes song is just another long song and Yes produced a lot of those extended pieces of music.btw "Gates of Delirium" is much better than CTTE.) But the album doesn't stop with that (in fact it does, because SR is the last song.) "Watcher of the skies" has a brilliant intro and it is a great song in itself. "Can-utility and the coastliners" is probably one of the best "shorter" songs Genesis did in that era and beyond."Get 'em out by Friday" is a nice dystopian song."Timetable" is also no let down. I have to give five out of five stars for this brilliant effort, due to the fact that "SR" is and will be the milestone for proggers throughout the ages! (p.s.: "Horizons" is not my piece of cake though)
