Oh well, Schizoid - We will not all agree! I find that we each demand things of our music, and we get disappointe. I think Time Table is not weak in the least - it is thoughtful, sober and evocative. It ain't proggy. Get 'em Out...that to me is a fine song, but it doesn't get my odd-time groove thang going.
I started out partial to Wind and Wuthering and Selling England; over time, I respond more or less, depending on my cholesterol, I think, to the sweeping thick epic grooves, or to the edges of Back to NYC, or to the folky syrup - all of which can be found in abundance. Sometimes, Dodo/Lurker is a masterpiece, followed closely by Me and Sarah Jane and Evidence of Autumn. Point is, there are many flavors, and its nice to know the bad stuff will be there to be good when the good becomes bad.

Foxtrot is excellent musically, but the sound quality comes across to me as sounding a little grey. I imagine it sounded better live.
Still a great album. Not boring at all, IMO

I love YES, but there's always room for some "certified" humour...

I think there is a fine line between what you call "humor" and being soul-less...

It all comes down to each individual person, of course. But for me, at first Yes, foxtrot was boring, but as time went on got more exciting.

I love that album! Watcher of the skies repetitiveness is exactly what I like about it! It so simple yet good sounding. I like the lyrics. Get em out by friday is one of my genesis favourites! it has compelling lyrics and gabriel sounds good to me! I do agree though, time table is weak and I could have done without horizons. Can utility is a good song too. and of course theres that one song, you know supper something. it's alright. (joking ! suppers ready is awesome!!!!!)

I was talking to one of my Dads friends, (the one who showed me prog, and let me borrow all his Genesis and Yes albums) and I told him about my deep loathing of get'em out by friday song. He said I didnt like it is because I am a lazy freeloader and I dont have a job, and that song speaks for so many people in the whole TGIF phase. Either way I still think the song is PG Genesis' worse!

^ I love that track not only because it smokes, but cause the lyrics are so poignant. I think it's one of the most heartfelt songs he's written. As well, Gabriel does some of his best emoting and character playing on Foxtrot... clearly making a big impression on one Roger Waters.

some parts are boring, but thats the point i think. Am i the only one who like the first 10min of suppers ready the best? the following 12min are pretty dull comperade to the first 10 i think.
