![]() Similarity: These lyrics are outrageous. Each song tells somewhat of a fairytale story. I know my thought bubble displays a huge "WTF?" often times when I actually read the lyrics. Difference: Sorry gang, I think Peter was more entertaining as a lyricist. I'm much less intrigued by the lyrics on ATOTT. The music, however, is equal if not better than much of Genesis under the reign of Gabriel. Dance on a Volcano and Los Endos open and close excellently. Ripples is a beautiful ballad that, in my opinion, rivals Carpet Crawlers. Conversely, Dance on a Volcano and Squonk show Phil's ability to "rock out" more. Though I prefer him as a ballad singer, he truly succeeds here. Some of the slower songs seem to drag on. Mad Man Moon and Robbery Assault Batter bore me a little. I often feel like I'm listening to them just to get to Los Endos. Great album, I would say this is an excellent addition to any prog music collection.
