Hackett & Banks are sublime on The Lamb, but it goes on a bit too long for my tastes.  Foxtrot has its weak moments with "Time Table" and "Horizons", but overall, the power of the remaining music is amazing. 

Shocked Can't believe I missed you saying that. Looks like I wasn't ... What?!

I always believed that from Trespass to Foxtrot, Genesis developed a unique dark and dense atmosphere that falls over the listener as thick mist, that sound created mostly by the interplay between Hackett and Banks is somehow lost in SEbP and exchanged for a lighter and more friendly sound, in The Lamb they return to the obscure sound, but less successful.

Hm ... I think SEBTP is darker than Foxtrot (parts of Moonlit Knight and 2nd half Cinema Show vs. Apocalypse).

FOXTROT. While THE LAMB has a couple of tunes I really love, maintream critics notwithstanding (who usually reckon it their best, for reasons I can never comprehend), it was their worst Gabriel-era album in my opinion. Who wants to hear Gabriel sing about Broadway or a guy named Rael wandering around in NYC? I want English drawing rooms and musical boxes. :-)

^ Even though I don't like The Lamb, you have to look past Broadway for more on that one.

Foxtrot

Slightly unrelated, listening to Transatlantic's cover of Giant Hogweed makes me want to get back into this band.
