Genesis are definitely one of the most amazing bands of all time. One of the few bands that were able to stay on top with different styles, I love both progressive style, or the more commercial Genesis of 80's. One of the most inspirational acts ever!! I think my opinion is well expressed in the articles I wrote about Genesis: (didn't know there was a topic about Genesis lol) http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1152 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1153 http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/article.php?article_id=1158 Read them if you want and tell me what you think.. greets, kual21

Listening the debut album after a few years away from it. An essential album to me because some of the songs are rather good but in overall the album is forgettable. Still, it is always an interesting listen due to the lack of progginess of their later albums. My favorites are: The Serpent, Am I Very Wrong?, In The Wilderness and The Conqueror -- that's four great songs in a row. Recommended for those who can see past the low reviews.

Written by JoHn Doe on 28.09.2021 at 14:09 Maybe I downplayed it on the comment, I do enjoy this music quite a lot and to me it's much better album than Trespass is. Also music such as this plays a part on the comment I made earlier about 69-72 being the greatest era musically  Re-listening to it right now and i think I'm gonna skip Trespass this time as I only enjoy The Knife from its songs.

I did end up listening to Trespass again, now I need to update my journal not to do it again, because I have been in this situation before where I forget about this album and its shortcomings. I see where they were trying to go with the longer song lengths and with prog getting big in this era, but it's an awkward record, it's not good or interesting until The Knife, it's a practise for their later albums.

Written by Guest on 06.04.2023 at 15:39 I agree, i wouldn't put Trespass that high though, but it is a great album. Also there was plenty of tight symph-prog (and not only) even in 1970 (Yes, Cressida, ELP, also Caravan and Gentle Giant, VDGG and so on).

Written by Guest on 06.04.2023 at 15:57 ELP and Emerson's previous band The Nice and even early Procol Harum and the Moody Blues and even King Crimson's debut helped shape symphonic prog back then. Personally I love early Yes, those two albums with Peter Banks on guitar are great IMO. Tight playing is essential in any kind of prog. That's the beauty of it I guess.

Written by Guest on 06.04.2023 at 16:13 Maybe you're right, by "tight" i mean musicians complement each other, no sloppiness, the music has a great flow, never forced. Also never technical for the simple sake of it. I'm not good with words here...

Written by Guest on 06.04.2023 at 16:24 well, let's see... Selling England by the Pound and A Trick of the Tail - a tie these days Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme - another tie I dare say. Wind & Wuthering The Lamb... Trespass And Then there were Three Duke From Genesis to Revelation The albums from 1981 to 1997 have some good occasional moments. That's another story.
