FOXTROT: A prog Classic
Eric J. Olague | 02/01/2010
(4 out of 5 stars)
"This album takes its place with the Prog Rock classics of its day, such as Pink Floyd's "Dark side of the moon" and "Meddle" and King Crimson's "Lizard". Genesis's "Foxtrot" continues the direction of the second and third album with this third album. The album begins with beautifully disembodied drowns and then drifts into the first track, "Watcher of the Skies", It has an aggressive sound that is delicate and pastoral. "Suppers Ready" is the album's highlight; running 23 min. demonstrates the bands musicianship and upbeat insanity. " Get'em out by Friday", another great track, is a venture of the conceptual pop song contained in the conceptual album."
