5 stars Actually I have not reviewed one of my favorite albums. So, Foxtrot: This album, from start to the end is full of surprises, wonderful melodies, great improvising and, of course, lyrics & vocals. Peter Gabriels dark voice here is something unusualy, like in Watcher of The Skies (damn it's hard to sing it). 1. Watcher of The Skies, very catchy pure prog-song in fact. Starts with one of the most beautiful intros ever, played by Banks. Then comes the drumming and other instruments, all in right time. Vocals are stunning, lyrics are somewhat weird. But the whole package is just unforgettable. 2. Time Table, beautiful song, shortly put. At first listen it might be boring, but when I listened this album few times, I got it. I love it. Whyyyyyy!!? =) 3. Get 'Em Out By Friday, true Genesis song. The synthsounds and Hackett's guitar. The vocals, lyrics. All works perfect. One of the songs I love, and others don't (underrated?). 4. Can-Utility And The Coastliners, another masterpiece. I don't know how this is so good song. I can't describe it. BEAUTIFUL. The vocals? don't know. Stunning Song 5. Horizons, "the intro to Supper's Ready", well yes. Hackett's muste-have-instrumental song here, again. In one word: amazing. I mean, the athmosphere in this song is just beautiful. 6. Supper's Ready, the epic. If somebody asks me what is the greatest song ever, I would answer that this (maybe). It has ALL in it, and this ALL is done perfect. It has the most fascinating lyrics, damn good vocals, stunning synths, guitar, drums, bass. The timing is perfect in every second, I cannot find a flaw in it. All in all 5/5, a true masterpice of progressive rock.
