Along with Selling England by the Pound, the best albums of Genesis (for me, obviously).

It's difficult to me express my feelings about this one without talking of Supper's Ready before. I think is one of the best progressive rock songs of all time (if not the best).

You're going to here all, from progressive folk, to hard rock and classic music. All is perfect, from Watcher of the Skies (an immortal classic) to Supper's Ready (an omega immortal clasic).

The sound is melodic, dramatic and sad at some times, with the acoustic guitar having protagonism on several parts (Horizons, the intro of Supper's Ready, Can-Utility, etc) The artwork is wonderful. Peter Gabriel dressed the Fox figure in the concerts at the time. That's why so many people call this Art Rock and not Progressive Rock at all.

Unquestionable classic

10/10 (i wish i could put 11/10)
