I've been a die-hard Genesis fan since 1972, seen them many times in concert, including this album, & have had the privilege of meeting Peter Gabriel at one of his shows in the early 90's. I'd LOVE to say that this album, his final with Genesis, is the Apex, the Pinnacle, yadda yadda yadda. But it just ain't. There's certainly enough great music on it to have made a fantastic single album. But much of it seems padded & the lyrics have a sameness to them that gets rather monotonous & interchangeable. When I saw them perform this live, Gabriel sometimes got the lyrics out of order in a song, or the wrong lyrics for a song, & nobody seemed to notice. But hey, they performed this show 100 times. While not their best, it's still light years ahead of most of what 1974 had to offer.Read full review
This very early Genesis double album, with Peter Genesis still as the lead singer, and Phil Collins on drums and background vocals, is the best Genesis ever did. It cannot be categorized, as it was nothing like anything elsewhere. Some, who gave it only a flimsy listen, found it too odd, boring, etc. But, I guarantee that any real fan of progressive rock, will come back to it over and over again, liking and loving it more every single time. This has so much to offer, that years later you can still find new things, different chords, superb vocals, etc. This is for serious music lovers, those who will give it the time to breathe it in, and keep it there, ready to continue loving it more each time they listen. ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!!
Probably the best one with Peter Gabriel.
