It is amazing, but outmatched by its predecessor and successor.


Really? Nursery Cryme is nowhere near as good as this. Selling England isn't as good either in my opinion but at least that one's somewhat close.

Certainly not as good, but 'nowhere near' seems a bit harsh to me.



Can-Utility is such an underrated song.




Agreed here though, always loved that one.

Well yeah I probably went a bit too far but this is just so much more cohesive and consistent and the highlights are better on here (The Musical Box gives some of those highlights a run for their money though) and there really aren't any weaker moments like on Nursery Cryme so this is better in pretty much every way, even though Nursery Cryme is still an excellent album.

Time Table is a great song, never understood why some people see it as a weak link.

Very respectable, Nag. Horizons is apparently a track used for studying by the big music academies all around the world, so it's an instant 5 for me.

It's a lovely piece, but not extensive enough to warrant a full score from me.

I'd probably give Horizons a 5, it's a perfect instrumental. One of Hackett's finest moments.

yeah Horizons is excellent, but it's not like I sit there listening to songs like Horizons or Mood for

a Day with my jaw dropped like I do with Supper's Ready and Heart of the Sunrise. It's great as an

intro, and it keeps the album flowing nicely.

Oh and Jethro, are you sure you're not thinking of Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G? Horizons borrows from that a bit :p
