4 stars I believe this is the true start for the band and for good reason. Genesis I believe were a supergroup for their time and on later albums even upgrading the roster on "Nursery Cryme" with Steve Hackett and Phil Collins. One of my favorite Genesis opinions is if Anthony Phillips had not had stage fright he would have been better than Steve Hackett :). But I digress this album deserves cheers for it having true roots of prog elements Peter Gabriel's artistic vision amplifies the music and gives insight for the talent of the band. two highlights I have from this album are the tracks "White Mountain" and "The Knife" the Knife is possibly one of the heaviest songs put out by the band and Anthony Phillips' talent shows through the song with the epic guitar solo half way through the song. after this album Anthony went on to do solo work along with some Genesis members. Throughout the entire album Tony Banks keyboard gives Genesis their symphonic prog sound and on "Dusk" shows their folk prog side
