One of the highest peaks of Symphonic Progressive. "Firth of Fifth," "The Cinema Show," and "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" are timeless masterpieces, "The Battle of Epping Forest" a spectacular theatrical jumble, "I Know What I Like" a great single, "After the Ordeal" an excellent instrumental digression in Hackett's style. Amid such beauty, though, I wonder... what the hell was "More Fool Me" doing there? more
Well, after the excellent Trespass, the first masterpiece for Genesis. Stunning and incredibly evocative atmospheres, fresh, spontaneous, and inspired music like perhaps never before in the future. "The Musical Box" is very likely THE SONG of Genesis, the heart of their art. more
An incredible journey into the underground, in the land of invisible men, poor souls, homeless people, and so on... 19 pieces dedicated to these rain dogs, Waits' voice has never been so expressive, it’s something incredible. Moving, devastating. Perhaps his best. An unforgettable epic among memorable tales of drifters, street people, and 19 compositions that range from excellent to absolutely brilliant, from very good to immense and absolute masterpieces. A monument. more
Somewhat boring at times, but nonetheless very pleasant. 3.5 more
Another absolute masterpiece, probably the best after Highway. Between Visions of Johanna and Sad-Eyed Lady, it's hard to choose the masterpiece of the album. A double of monumental beauty. more
