one of their best peter or not

Review Score: (10/10)
This is truly one of Genesis' finest albums. It is better than the previous "Trick of the Tail" and stands up to any of the albums featuring Peter Gabriel. After this one Steve Hackett left and they started going downhill rapidly. The first track, "Eleventh Earl of Mar" is one of the highlights and shows the band in its traditional story-telling mode, with brilliant results. Another highlight is the extended instrumental "Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers". If you like the albums with Peter Gabriel and have been putting off buying this one, do yourself a favor and check it out.
