WIND & WUTHERING

After Gabriel had left the band, the remaining quartet developed in an incredible way and released two of their best albums. While A Trick of the Tail already was outstanding , Wind and Wuthering turned out to be one of their masterpieces after Peter Gabriel's exodus.

"One for the Vine" and "Blood on the Rooftops" are two epics belonging to the greatest prog songs ever, but all other tracks (maybe with the exception of the fairly nice, but very, very simple "Afterglow") follow quite close behind.

Master guitarist Steve Hackett left the band after this album. With "And Then There Were Three"(1978) Genesis managed to overplay this significant loss pretty sovereign, but thereafter it all started to go downhill in the prog point of view although they became more and more successful commercially.

I'm absolutely sure, that I will love this album as long as I live. Wonderful cover artwork, by the way. 5.0
