2 stars Overrated... Genesis released two great albums before this, listenning all the three together with this it's easy to see that this is really overrated... Progressive Rock, no doubt about it, but not as good as the fans want it to be. Dancing With The Moonlit Knight, Firth Of Fifth and After The Ordeal are the only tracks that are truly good. Dancing With The Moonlit Knight has a very nice guitar solo, and a good vocal melody. Firth Of Fifth lasts more than it should, but, again, the solo make it worthy. After The Ordeal is the best here. Amazing keyboard theme, a very pleasant flute work, and, better than anything, NO vocals. More Fool Of Me and I Know What I Like are cheap pop tunes (not every pop tune is bad, but these are), Cinema Show is a extremely boring track, but Battle Of Epping Forest is even worse! Aisle Of Plenty, well... Rather mediocre, getting the melody from the first track. Not bad, but i wouldn't recommend... Get Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme, then get Trespass... Don't mind about the others, unless you really liked those three.
