Trespass is generally overlooked and unrated, and whilst it is not in the same league of the
prime period albums from "Foxtrot" to "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" it should be
picked up from time to time to appreciate the raw talent combined with whimsical English
tone.The content is very heavy on atmosphere largely from the heavy use of Mellotron and 12 string guitars, with the exception of the blistering guitar on "The Knife". With the exception of this track, the sound is gentle and timid but NOT weak. Its main failings are it's production and the rather workman like drumming of Mayhew, the former can possibly be resolved in the soon to be released 2007 SACD re-release. Mayhew was soon replaced by Collins who provided a much needed cleverness behind the drum stool that this album lacks. Overall though I give this 4 because of the vibe of this album which you either get or you don't.
