That would be STILL, not BANKSTATEMENT.
As for ACF, I've probably mentioned before that it took longer for me to start liking this album than any other album I listen to -- like about 30 years from my first hearing it.
Or even Soundtracks, along with Toyah and Jim Diamond, all of whose songs were good.
I always wonder who would buy all those different color vinyl editions. Is there anyone on this forum, collecting all possible vinyl editions?
Agreed. Even if I bought vinyl (which I don't), I wouldn't bother with any of these. Just seems like a way of separating people from money.
For me this is probably the lowest point on their worst album.
I have already gone on at length about this album, so I will spare you that here too!
We might disagree about this being the worst track, but as you say, I agreed overall with you before, so I'll stop now too.

Check out "Graduate", the 6 piece (or was it 5?) from which TFF emerged. Great single, "Ever met a day". Late 70's I think.
I really like the three instrumentals which are classic late 1970s Genesis/Banks but I've never got on with Kim Beacon's voice, try as I might.
I much prefer Noel Mcalla on Smallcreep's Day.
I'm pretty much the opposite, I find the 3 instrumentals to be little more than filler, the rest though is some of Tony's best work. Noel and Kim don't sound so different to me either.
Good album, best tracks being Tombstone Roller, Big Dallas Sky, and Way Down South, but it's too smooth/sanitized to be a real "Blues" album, and the Blues ain't my thing anyway. Not his best, but not his worst either!
I can't help feeling that the upcoming series of "Big Brother" on Channel 4 is going to be very disappointing. The trailers show lots of clips involving cute little Guinea Pigs, and that looks like something I'd be happy to watch for up to an hour, but I've just got this sneaking feeling that the actual programme will just involve the usual bunch of entitled, self-centred, irritating 20 somethings it usually does.
I might complain to Ofcom if it does!
For anyone who has the album, National Geographic has a program tonight in the "Pirates - Behind the legends" series about Mary Read and Anne Bonny, 7pm, Sky channel 229 (not freeview sadly). Nick is hoping to watch it!
Not that I'm going to trawl through 42 pages about a box set I probably won't buy, for several reasons, but it's interesting that several posters there agree with me, in thinking Tony either doesn't know (or doesn't care?) about the compression issues with the 2007 mixes. Shame really, the album uses dynamic range a lot more than many do, and to throw that away by having the quiet sections of Lamia or Silent Sorrow hitting you at the same volume as the loud bits of NYC is a waste. Particularly as one of the overriding strengths of digital/CD is the available dynamic range.
For those who must, this will be a purchase they make, despite the likelihood of some bits being disappointing. Reminds me of last years box set of To Our Children's..... by the Moody Blues. The remix is ok, but takes liberties, the 5.1 takes too many liberties (luckily, I have the original quad mix, which is perfect), but the box was worth it for the remix, and esp. the 5.1 mix, of the contemporary live show at the Royal Albert Hall, Dec 12 1969, long-available in original form as Caught Live + 5.
News From Steve Hoffman Forum:
- When I posited the idea that the Nick Davis remixes were a little “loud”, he suggested I turn the volume down then…
Suggesting that Tony doesn't understand the principles of compression or limiting in any way!
One of those bands where far too much focus is on one member, most people (myself included) can't even name the other 3. The Glastonbury performance a few weeks back appeared to have keyboards with no visible keyboard player, it all seems a bit "naff" to me. I think I'd rather see Oasis, but from an elevated platform with just me in it!
Was Billy Joel not available? 
Two Piece Puzzle - Rosalie Cunningham. Turns out there is a Duchess of Stratosphear!
you're right...it was September....funny how the mind plays tricks because I could swear it was almost Christmas!!😂
I was in Aldi today, looking at the chocolate Santa's, mince pies and Christmas cake. September IS almost Christmas! 
Played it for first time today, (just back off holiday), very good, interesting story that needs unpicking, not his best though.
Well said to all of the above, but this quote really nails it: approximately half the voting population in the US is part of a giant cult. It's actually an extremely dangerous and unfortunate situation. The fact that he was sharing the stage with her as the gop candidate is hugely problematic. He asked the governor of Georgia to find 11,700 votes for him. An active act of sabotaging democracy which is, in theory at least, the foundation stone of the whole American experiment. There is literally nothing less American he could have done, but his brainwashed cult followers can't see it.
It's like the small ranch in Waco except it's the whole country. I think cult members are notoriously hard to unbrainwash as well. I live in hope that she'll win, he'll fade away and the whole thing will seem like a fever dream in ten years time, but I share your skepticism and perhaps fear that it won't be the case.
Indeed, if she wins, it's another 4 years for him to become frail, lose the plot or die of natural causes. Recommended viewing is Real Time with Bill Maher, always good anyway, but essential viewing at present!
A "never gonna please anyone" list, but Shock the Monkey? Someone misread the headline and picked one of the 20 worst! 
Pretty good album, voice works in places, more on backing than lead. Not the best track on here, but OK. I think Mike should have had more faith in his songwriting, rather that end up co-writing MOR with the mechanics. 10 for this one.
I'd be perfectly happy if they ate Elon Musk though!
A little bit too frantically delivered, tbh, but given this is one of the few latter day Genesis songs with good, purposeful lyrics, aimed at a well deserved target, I'll give it the full 15.
