5 stars People tend to kind of leave this album behind, i just keep asking why? this album is completely in the same row of the previous 5 studio albums and can't go any worse. "Eleventh Earl of Mar" is one of the high points here and an amazing song serving of intro to the album, followed by one of the TOP 5 songs of 70s Genesis Era: "One for the Vine"... Collins' vocals are outstanding along with all the instrumentation of the song, specially Tony Banks' performance, this song can touch you deeply just like it does to me. "Your Own Special Way" is a song you could say Collins realy invest his ideas focusing in more "accesible" songs, but really doesn't reach that point: a beautiful balad. "Wot Gorilla" is the least interesting of the album, good song. "All in a Mouse's Night" is also a very good song, with good keyboards from Tony Banks, as always. Then comes "Blood on Rooftops", a song with Steve Hackett as starring, very nice acoustic intro, a great song indeed. "Unquiet Slumbers For The Sleepers..." and "...In That Quiet Earth" counts as one and is another high point of the album with all members showing off their great abilities with their instruments, by the way, this song is fantastic when played in the "Steve Hackett & Friends / Live in Japan" album. And at last, "Afterglow" is the other Collins mainly influenced song, also a wonderful balad with good vocals and a great outro for the album. ONE OF THE 6 GENESIS MUST-HAVE PROG TITLES.
