Blimey, this one's been dug out of deepest Covid! 

Missing Piece... it's not great, but it's more in a vein with what went before and nothing on it hack's me off anywhere near as much as Abacab's excesses...

It's great for me, so much so that I bought the Wilson surround mix this year.

I looked at the rating trajectory of the tail-end of their albums and really think its spot on. They could do no wrong until Free Hand; Interview was slightly sub-par to their extraordinarily high standards but still very strong, before the considerable drop-off to Missing Piece, which was very safe and lacked most of the eccentric creativity of what had gone before....

I have never managed to get into Gentle Giant, or Genesis - so bang go my prog credentials.

I voted for both. Maybe if there wasn't a both option I would go for Abacab but maybe only because my preference is for Genesis overall.
