The album features the 23-minute track ” Supper’s Ready “, a suite of various musical segments. The track included an opening acoustic piece, a Gabriel-penned song called “Willow Farm” and a piece derived from a jam by Banks, Rutherford and Collins called “Apocalypse in 9/8″. Other songs were the science-fiction -themed ” Watcher of the Skies ” and the property-development-themed ” Get ‘Em Out by Friday “. Foxtrot was released in on 15 September 1972 and reached No. 12 in the UK. It fared even better in Italy, where it went to No. 1. Foxtrot was well received by critics. Chris Welch of Melody Maker thought Foxtrot was “a milestone in the group’s career”, “an important point of development in British group music” and that Genesis had reached “a creative peak”. Stephen Thomas Erlewine thought Foxtrot marked the first time “Genesis attacked like a rock band, playing with a visceral power”.
