Customer Reviews

A class act to follow Peter.....BRAVO
This is really where I started to appreciate Genesis. The release of this album just lifted the top of my head making room for this great group. I was young back then and I thought you could only have one favorite group and in my case it was Yes. So sadly I missed the Gabriel years, though I had friends who played Genesis before this album. The gabriel years I thought were pleasant, whimsical and very listenable music, I just skimmed the surface, here and there. Like a stone thrown in a river and then sunk with a plop to my narrow minded thought that YES is best, nothing else. Then a bloody great switch was pulled.

I have of course rectified my earlier misguided doctrine, my appetite for Genesis knew no bounds and I revisited all the earlier stuff and of course loved all, maybe not Trepass.

This album is of a different timescale and era. So listening to it today? It doesn't sound dated and it certainly hasn't lost any of it's magic. It should be put in a glass cabinent and have sugar thrown at it. It is that good, it is a classic.

Collins vocals are great with just a hint of the artful dodger when needed. Drumming brilliant. This was the real start of the Mr Collins quest for world domination. Only one more album of this highest standard they would achieve[Wind and wuthering]. Then the slide began, not too drastic at first. Still good songs but more radio friendlier, integrity lost to the dollar, maybe?
At least Mr Hackett never stuck around, Rutherford and Banks never put up too much of a struggle. Polo ponies you know? New house or car?

This line up of Genesis[Collins/Rutherford/Banks/Hackett] proved they could still maintain it after Gabriel.

It is hard to choose a favourite as they are all brilliant and like the passing of the seasons these change.What is your favourite favourite? Listen and find out............

Over 30 years old but not aged a bit. Genesis at their best.
If you like Genesis and have done for a while, you will be used to the fact that they are not, and probably never were trendy. The advantage of this is that they never go out of fashion, and I still enjoy listening to this album after 30 years of knowing it.The first album after Peter Gabriel left sees Phil Collins step forward from the drums to lead vocal, and he makes a superb job of it. All the songs are good, some are great, there are no duds. The playing by all four members of the group is excellent, and makes me wish Steve Hackett had never left, as his guitar contributions add an 'other worldly' air to many songs. The stand out tunes for me are 'squonk', 'mad man moon' and 'ripples', but all of them are classics.Genesis at their original and best.

leave the classics alone
If you're lucky enough to own the original AAD CD issue, hold onto it because these remasters are a travesty. Admittedly if you're young and new to Genesis this new "remix remaster" will appeal, since the bass has been elevated close to the pain threshold, the vocal range has been hit sideways with added reverb, and all those delicate quiet bits that made the original so profoundly beautiful have been homogenised. Those of us who remember the original mix/master have been left out of the twenty-first century marketing equation because all we do is complain that music today isn't a scratch on what it was yesterday. This issue very clearly isn't intended for us. Although odds on we'll be the only people buying it.

Did Genesis have a lead guitarist? Someone by the name of Hackett whose contribution got buried beneath the keyboard wash...he quit the band but that wasn't the reason he gave, though it should have been...well at least this new mix has tweaked a few of his grudging passages, you can now actually distinguish the weeping slide guitar from the piano arpeggios in "Ripples". So not all bad!

The music will never get anything other than 5 stars (it says so in Alan Freeman's History Of Pop)....but this new presentation gets 1 star....so average 3! Hunt out one of the older CD issues here on Amazon, this isn't the CD you're looking for.
