FOXTROT

A mate of mine lent me this album as i was expanding my Prog musical taste. I had already listened to a few Genesis songs and thought they were pretty good. So i listened to this album and enjoyed it. 1. Watcher Of the Skies - Well to be honest I don't like this song, I think it's the weakest song on this album. I think it's something to do with the vocals, i like Gabriel's voice but as an introuduction on this album it was hard to swallow.

2.Time Table - I really like this song, even though it has a melancholy feel to it. The nice mellow guitar riffs, the soft vocals and the slow piano introduction. This song has a very appealing feel to it for me and is probably the one song by Genesis that i know all the lyrics to I've listened to it so many times.

3. Get 'Em Out By Friday - A very diverse song for such a short time period. The intro is complettly different to the rest of the song and the tempo, the volume and the tune changes many times. Gabriel's voice is fantastic especially when he says "Get 'em out by Friday!" He changes to suit the style of the music being played and it works very well.

4. Can-Utility And The Coastliners - The introduction again is a brillaint guitar opening which leads onto the general feel to the song. Probably the least progessive song on the album but it's still damn good. Again excellent vocals by Peter and I would say the most radio friendly song from the album with runner up going to Time Table

5. Horizons - How can you not like this short guitar instrumental? Sounds very melodic and peaceful. Just a very good song to listen to, my only complaint is that it's a bit short but then again maybe if it was longer i would say it's too long.

6. Supper's Ready - Well what can I say about this song that hasn't already been said? A very very very good prog song, every time it comes on I always listen to the whole song because it's hard to top it by changing to a different song. Everything on this song is brilliant and everything about this song is brilliant. A great way to end the album with the best track and most probably the best prog song but having to fight off the likes of Close To The Edge and Thick As A Brick which equally as good.

All in all this is my favourite Genesis album and for that i have to give 5 stars, even though Watcher Of The Skies does let it down a bit.
