Their best effort, a cohesive well produced album. It is hard to identify an album where all the songs are related and yet each can stand on its own. There is almost nothing negative that can be said of this record.

Genesis Selling England By The Pound album cover
If this is a review we need a pic.....;)
Perhaps my favorite Genesis lp (though Fox and Cryme are also as good imho) but I would have left off the 'Phil' song and added a few more minutes to one of the others.

A good album. The best produced and performed of the Gabriel era, but I still prefer the Lamb and Foxtrot.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Shouldn't this be posted as a review?

^A review or an appreciation thread? If it's the latter, then all I can say is that I feel it's the best Gabriel era Genesis album. I actually haven't listened to it in years, but I know most of it by heart. Glad to see others still enjoying this prog classic.

This being the 5 th genesis release the arrangements are more rounded out ,the lyrics more detailed, the theme is of course England or a remembrance of what was England is or was, from the bands point of view.The opening track dancing with the moonlight knight ,i know what like (in your wardrobe)  simply breathtaking, even the phil song more fool me is above par,  all things considered this is one great album sorry but although frith of firth  is an excellent song.Being a guitar nut like myself cinema show and after the ordeal holds up to any standard guitar work of today,s progressive rock bands .Clap
