This is undoubtedly the most progressive album made by any of the former members of Genesis, and Steve Hackett was true to his spirit and composed one of the best works of the genre of the 70s.
With the help of his former teammates Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford, Hackett preferred to follow a line very similar to the one that his mother band did at that time with topics that have always permeated this style.
Hackett surprises with this album for its energy, breaking all the schemes prior to its participation in Genesis, with compositions loaded with ideas that become an explosion of powerful music as in "A Tower Struck Down", at the same time that it contains that air. pastoral and bucolic characteristic of the English group as shown in songs like "Hands Of The Priestess"
Others like the epic "Shadow Of The Hierophant", where Sally Oldfield's masterful voice stands out, could have perfectly belonged to any of the great Genesis albums, with those 12 minutes of absolutely captivating and masterful music.
