Believe it or not, From Genesis To Revelation was my FIRST Genesis album. I liked it and it attracted me to Trespass and... you know the rest of the story.

Most people discard this album as pop-pretentious crap. It definitely isn't the prog-rock they've played in the 70s, BUT... it is not a bad album either, it has strong arrangements, good lyrics and some good songs. I like the overall melancholic, intimate and somewhat distant mood of this album. Each tune here has something interesting to offer.

In The Beginning and The Serpent are very rocking, powerful and scary hypnotic tunes, similar to Crazy World of Arthur Brown. The cold mechanic mood of Am I Very Wrong? sends chills across my spine everytime I hear it. In Limbo is a hymnic flight away. A Place To Call My Own is a brilliant showcase of Peter Gabriel's vocals. Of the bonus tracks, I like A Winter's Tale the most - a moody, organ-based track. Really, there's nothing wrong with this album apart that it is different from the rest of Genesis. Had the band continued this way, it would be also interesting.
