FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION

While it is possible to hear the great band that is buried in this release, it is still pretty murky. FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION is pretty much a collection of average to below average late- 60s pop and folky songs. (I only have the original so I can't speak about the bonus cuts). Are there guitars in this somewhere? They seem to be buried way back in the final mix of the songs. This sounds exactly like the "demo" album that is basically was. Below average production, short half-finished concepts.....But Genesis did manage to outlast this mess and go on to much better things, as we know. The difference between FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION and their next record, TRESPASS is amazing. What progress! I suppose "The Conquerer" makes this at least a 2 star recording. Barely.
