5 stars Best Genesis album. Acoustic guitars superb. Mellotron and organ together with acoustic guitars achieves a counterpuntistic atmosphere very complex. It's a difficult album to understand, very dense, a challenge for ears. Don't exist an progressive album with so many chords sounding in unison, and in counterpoint style, which is musically contradictory but is approximately this I say. "Chords" enter and fits into songs in a superb manner . An acoustic, folk and baroque chamber "orchestra". Possibly most inspirated album of its genre. p

Pastoral and ancient music style very emotional. Bucolic chorus alike "gregorian prayings". p

Most sensitive album I listen ever. p

The knife, for example, is a 9 minute song, but it progress in a crescendo, no-statical song. Even it sounds more aggressive than Black Sabbath's paranoid, another 1970 album . Effect sounds are amazing, even better than today. For example, "girl scream" and soldier orders adressed to privates. p

So this album created 90% personality and style of band. An acoustic work prodigious.
