FOXTROT

Foxtrot is one of my favourite Genesis albums (second to Selling England By The Pound), and thus one of my favourite records over-all. It so clearly showcases what Genesis stood for during the brilliant Gabriel-era. Supper's Ready is one of music history's best compositions, and it contains music history's fourth best vocal achievement (after The Battle Of Epping Forest and VDGG's Arrow and La Rossa). The whole album is a true work of art and genious, but if two songs really stand out, it is Supper's Ready and Get 'Em Out By Friday. These two songs also shows an aspect of Genesis that they could not manage to achieve without Gabriel (although most of their post-Gabriel records still are very good). Theatrical, super-intelligent yet highly emotional, progressive rock.
