Song Meanings

Reviews

The is probably one of his greatest and most innovative album so far. A couple of the songs are very deep and sometimes even a bit heartbreaking. This is the album that really expanded Peter's fans. He incorporate intelligent lyrics and musically complex pieces that went to the other extreme of the art rock of Genesis. Overall, the album is technically superb, adventurous, imaginative, and stunning and excellent in every aspect an album can be. --Autolady006 01:46, 4 April 2007 (PDT)
