FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION

They were just kids... trying to make some kind of conceptual album about biblical themes. Kinda too much, but who couldn't relate to that kind of musical ambition? In any case, the end result is barely tolerable, and that's considering the album in a vacuum, I'm not comparing it to the band's following excursions into some of the best prog ever and (admit it, though you might not like it) some of the best pop ever, too.

What we have here are a bunch of short songs, sometimes linked together, with an almost Phil Spectorish production. Nice tracks like "Where the Sour turns to Sweet", "Fireside Song", "In the Wilderness" and "In Hiding" I can listen again from time to time, but as a whole, the album becomes too childish to enjoy. This very first album and the last one (to this date, at least) are at the bottom of my Genesis list.
