Some of us are just bored with it but I understand why it exists. However the general flow of an album is important to me and I'm not convinced that it really helps in that regards. Too much stopping and starting. 2 minutes turns into an extra 7 minutes or whatever . Yep its prog but all I hear is messing about.

Ok. But have you got bored with "understanding" yet? I gotta know? 😎

I was contemplating my listening habits regarding the early to late 70's, when I only had about 30 to 40 vinyls in my prog collection....I didn't get bored with any track even though repetition was far more prevalent than now that I have thousands of CD's to spin...but that much wider selection has made me appreciate the mid 70's classics even more not less...supoose thats just me though...

It´s an absolutely brilliant song...

...the only song on that album which should have been left off is "More Fool Me". Even for the more pop oriented Genesis tracks, it´s a bit of a boring stinker...I´ll take 80s Genesis any day over that one...

I think it’s brilliant too. I somewhat agree about More Fool Me. I don’t think it’s particularly good, but I’m not too offended by it. I dislike the tedious chorus of I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) more.

Totally agree. I love Supper's Ready and I really like Battle of Epping Forest, for a while it was my favourite song on the album.
