FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION

I really like this album. I know its not considered up their with their later works, but I find it more listenable than any other of their albums. I have both the record and later the cd version with the bonus tracks. I really wish Genesis had continued with this sound, because it has much more soul and feel to it than anything they released thereafter. I'm not sure it fits into the classic progressive sound that later made Genesis famous, but if this were not looked at purely for its progressive elements and solely as a work of art, it would easily be their most artistic effort. However, since we must consider the progressive elements, I can not give this five stars as I would otherwise be tempted to do. Nor can I say its an essential addition to any prog rock music collection, because of the lack of prog, but it is great rock music and probably their best theme album in terms of setting a mood of Genesis and creation in a purely artistic sense.
