I love this album so so so much. I love the silliness of Epping, but what makes it for me is the strong melodies in the parts that get repeated (THIS IS THE... BATTLE... OF EPPING FOR-EST and the part where Phil keeps going AAaaahhhahahAAAAaaaaaaaaaahhahahhaAAAAAAaaaahhhh). While far from my favorite song on the album, it never seems overlong to me.

More Fool Me's the only slight dropping point for me, similar to what Lisnaholic already said.

And as for the Cinema Show, I didn't really get it at first. It's far from offensive, but it never grabbed me like most of the rest of the album. But now, whenever that little synth solo hits (Should have been reprised in the guitar at the end bahhhhhhhhhhhh) I find myself really loving the song. And *parts* of Gabriel's vocal melody give me the same feeling.

And all the rest is classic.
