2 stars A classic GENESIS Craftwork. Probably a masterpiece if you like symphonic prog. But as a listener from other sub-genres... It sounds boring. Just like what I've been said about Foxtrot, the album does have cozy moments that I'm glad to appreciate...But most of the time it just sounds tasteless. And there's problem with the lyrics. Sometimes it's so weird that I can't understand what they're trying to tell. The whole rhythm of the album was in slow pace that I couldn't help myself yawn when listening to it. Some songs where just "made to be long" and full of unnecessary information. I mean, 40 minutes is better, 30 minuets is totally fine! Anyway, it's just my own opinion. I'm not a Genesis fan... So I'd rather listen to Selling England.
