Nearly 7 minutes long. But it's actually pretty good. I like Genesis songs but haven't heard this one. Has a change of pace around 2:25. - 8/10

To be fair, it's indicated as two separate tracks on the album and the CD version has it split accordingly--it starts with "In The Rapids" and then "It" comes in at about 2:20. That said, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is a concept album (it's also the last one the band did before Peter Gabriel left) and the two songs blend together not unlike Van Halen's "Eruption" into "You Really Got Me." Mike Rutherford has even indicated that they were pressured by record executives to parcel the album out more than they'd originally intended, and those two songs were indeed supposed to be one. Not surprising I was able to find the two presented together with minimal effort.
I suggest you give the whole album a listen, as I think it's one of the greats. Kevin Gilbert performed a cover of the album in its entirety with his band GIRAFFE at ProgFest in 1994 when the original was 20 years old, and it's just incredible.
5/10 for "Three Lions." I enjoy The Lightning Seeds' brand of power pop/Britpop but that could have been better. Also, video not available for viewing in my country but I found an alternate.
Speaking of Kevin Gilbert, and brace yourself (whoever ends up listening/rating) for heartache...

Music was fantastic and the chorus vocals were decent, but the rest of the vocals were effortless* to the point of nearly spoiling the whole lot--4/10.
*Effortless, not in the traditional sense that something so great was managed but with minimal effort exerted, rather that they couldn't be bothered to put any effort into it and that's precisely how it sounds.

The first concert I ever attended, at 16, was A Flock of Seagulls. The Fix was the opening band.
Love the orchestra. 8/10

The Fixx was my first out of state [and big] concert, for their React tour. Sorry to say I don't remember much of the concert itself but that roadtrip was a riot.
The entire new album is something else; the orchestra version of "Transfer Affection" is the one I keep circling back to but alas I was unable to post it.
