Without those two I would rate SEBTP much higher. Side one has no filler. At all. Side two has, as you say, "Cinema Show" and I even like "Aisle of Plenty" with its clever wordplay and link back to the opener, but no, "Epping Forest" will never grow on me (pun not intended!) and "After the Ordeal" is both so apt a title and also inextricably linked to it that I can't like it.

Then again, remember, I'm the guy who doesn't rate Close to the Edge!!!!!!!

But I know my Genesis, and this for me was their nadir (not the album, the track) before, say, "Ballad of Big", which I also hate, and then of course we have Abacab coming on the scene like the Grim Reaper bringing the slow death, slight recovery, good recovery, last gasp, and final ignominious passing of one of the greatest prog rock bands on Earth.
