A TRICK OF THE TAIL

Genesis were the first prog band that I enjoyed. This album, a continuation of the style of Genesis after Peter Gabriel, was positively surprised me. The balance is given by the guitar of Steve Hackett, who had not abandoned the band, but still kept the old sound. The composition was less elaborate, and the theatrics of the voice was lost, but the quality remained. This album has songs that make me dream and I still enjoy it today. From this work, the Genesis entered the commercial age and lost all the charisma, so for many people, after the departure of Peter Gabriel, Genesis over. I maintain my opinion that after The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, the Genesis had two major albums and Trick of the Tail is one of them. This band that inspired and still inspires many bands, and in Italy, caused the emergence of many important bands of the Italian progressive rock, as in other parts of the world. This is a masterpiece, absolutely, of a Big Band of seventies. 5 stars
