5 stars This is an excellent album! The 23+ minutes supper's ready is definitely the most notable track on this album. All has been said about this great song, so there's really not too much to be added. All I can say is that I fell in love with this song last year when I was working at the United States, and this song really gave me something to be happy about when I was missing my family and my country back in Peru. Leaving all this emotions apart, musically this is definitely a masterpiece of prog, including great mood changes, excellent acoustic work in the intro, a specially emotive and entertaining peter gabriel and a weird story that, at least in my case, had to be explained to me in order to understand it. I specially like the intro and apocalypse in 9/8 (Y).

About the other tracks, Watcher of the skies is a great demonstration of "teamwork" in prog, where at some points of the song no one tries to show off and they just play to make the overall sound perfect. Can-Utility and the coastliners is also great, as well as the acoustic piece "Horizons" by hackett, one of my favorite acoustic tracks. Watcher of the Skies ***** Time Table **** Get 'Em Out by Friday **** Can-Utility and the Coastliners ***** Horizons **** 6. Supper's Ready ******
