'Tis quite good. I don't listen to much prog anymore, but I still like to put this one on every once in a while. "More Fool Me" kinda drags this one down pretty hard, though.

Still listen to this 2 or 3 times a year and always enjoy the experience.

Pleased to see this as AOTD. I adore most of it. Yeah More Fool Me is a dragger, but the high points on the record make this album soar. Dancing With The Moonlit Knight is one of my favorite songs ever. This album is pleasantly full of itself.

I think just coming after Firth of Fifth it's a little lackluster. Personally I think the chorus is great but everything else is so drab.

I haven't listened to it in a while now but I'll give it a listen again soon. I loved this record, it is possibly my second favourite of mine by Genesis after The Lamb.
Funnily, on my first couple of listens I couldn't stand The Cinema Show, but now it is probably my favourite song on the album and one of my favourite of the band. It is like the top of the album, which is even more so that it is put between After the Ordeal and Aisle of Plenty, two songs are which like sorts of the opening and coda of The Cinema Show.
The first three songs are brilliant so is The Battle of Epping Forest. For me the weakest song is More Fool Me, but it is also nicely fits on the album.
