The best album in the world..............ever !
I've been into Genesis since I was in my twenties, and now, in my fifties, I'm still as big a fan as ever. This album, for me, is Genesis at their absolute peak. A towering album, as powerful today as ever. The music lifts me as high now as it did all those years ago. The Lamb comes close, but Selling England is a timeless classic - if you haven't heard it, you're lucky, because you have so much to look forward to - BRILLIANT.
A true classic, not to be missed
All of the first five Genesis albums have a magical quality to them, they all have their own unique personality, and of course, top quality progressive music.
Selling England' is perhaps one of the greatest prog albums ever recorded, and certainly one of the most loved. From the absolutely epic vocal intro of 'Dancing with the Moonlight Knight,' until the full circle ending of 'Aisles of Plenty,' you are enraptured by some great storytelling, and some astounding music.
Selling England contains one of the coolest Genesis songs ever written: 'After the Ordeal,' a short instrumental of ridiculous quality. It also features some of Genesis's most loved material like the keyboard classic 'Cinema Show,' and the long and crazy 'Battle of Epping Forest.'
As far as prog albums go, you'd be hard pressed to find a more popular one, and there's a reason for that; its marvelous! Buy Now!
Divine!
It was bad enough when the band lost Gabriel, but when they lost Hacket as well, it was clear that both the heart and the soul had left the band. Collins is/was all well and good as a showman (and, lest we forget, a fantastic percussionist) but he couldn't give to the band what those guys did.
Here is the evidence.
The Gabriel and Hackett combination on Dancing With the Moonlit Knight should life anyone off their feet - and Firth of Fifth should knock them off them again. I've been playing this album since I was a teenager - I'm in my forties now and it still makes me feel like weeping with joy on every listen. If you've never heard it, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
