FOXTROT

After discovering Genesis recently and bought three albums who have certainly my five stars I purchased Foxtrot. The first song give me a very bad premonitory feeling I must admit.

Well despite the great intro of Watcher of the skies, who sounds very melancholic the repetitiveness of this so kitch way of singing. And despite the quality of the lyrics I really can not appreciate this song, it makes me sick. I'm maybe to young to understand the quality i twas in the 70's but I'm a kid born twenty years laters as it was released.

The three following songs are of higher quality and much more intensive than the energic opener even if i'm not a huge fan again, I only remembered Time Table. I didn't understand the next short-lenged song which consists of an acoustic play.

Here comes the epic, I'm not disapointed, you can smell that composition is well-built. There are some very exciting moment where you can't wait for the next seconds. The general feeling about this album is not such enthusiastic as i have read of the other review. I must be an exception.

There's no doubt that it is an album you have to listen to, even if you're not a huge fan of Genesis but I though it would be of the same quality as Trespass or Selling England by The Pound.
