Wanna add this was a FUN rate. I had a blast with this. It was nice to do something so different. I appreciate this rate and @Rumours1977 rates as well.

#6 - More Fool Me - Rating 7.9

"More Fool Me" is the second of two songs, the other being "For Absent Friends" from Nursery Cryme, to feature Collins on lead vocals before he became the band's lead singer in 1975. Uncharacteristically for the group's output at the time, the song was a tender, romantic ballad. It was written quickly by Collins and Rutherford while sitting on the steps outside the recording studio. Gabriel considered the pair's contributions "quite a breakthrough"

Lowest Rating: @Oriane - 7

"It’s beautiful and soft. I’m not a fan of the vocals but the harmonies are good." 

Highest Rating: This one was really close but @Rumours1977 wins it by .75 points (the rest were 8's) - 8.75 

"Yay! Simplistic production and relatable lyrics – two of my favorite things. Easily my favorite track on the album thus far. My only real criticism is the lead singer’s voice, as he sometimes sounds as if he is struggling to confidently hit every note he is attempting. Nonetheless, nice song"

#5 - The Cinema Show - Rating 8.0

"The Cinema Show" is divided into two sections. The first section is a 12-string guitar-based piece, featuring vocal harmonies between Gabriel and Collins, as well as a short flute and oboe solo. The song concludes with a four-and-a-half-minute keyboard solo on the ARP Pro Soloist, with Rutherford and Collins playing a rhythm in a 7
8 time signature. The lyrics, written by Banks and Rutherford, draw much of their inspiration from the T. S. Eliot poem The Waste Land."

Lowest Rating: @Oriane - 7 

" It sounds like it’s coming from a movie or a video game. It’s a bit more modern but it fits into the album."

Highest Rating: KING - 10

The first track and the final track were my favorites but I dont think I gave anything a score under 8....maybe there was a 7 actually.  Theres only one song i dont love.
