4 stars Okay, here's the lowdown: everyone who *loves* "Selling England by the Pound" needs to get a copy of this CD ASAP, for one track: "Momo." This is THE VERY BEST Genesis-sounding song I've ever heard, and to be honest, it is better than some of the weaker tracks on that masterpiece (i.e. "More Fool Me," "Epping Forest," "After the Ordeal"). Rael's track "Momo" approaches the best tracks on SELLING ENGLAND.

Listen, I've got a dozen or so CDs by Genesis clones, all of which I *rarely-to-never listen to*: every CD by the Watch, Citizen Cain, Neuschwanstein, etc. In my humble opinion, these bands do a fair job of mimicking the sound of Genesis, but all suffer from an inability to write great songs.

"Momo" is a great song. Get it, honestly. You will NOT be disapointed.

As for the rest of the album? Truthfully, I've listened to it once or twice, and don't feel the need to listen to it more than that. But "Momo" is on my permanent playlist, and if you love SELLING ENGLAND, I'm betting it will be on yours as well.
