| Magic Marmalade 22nd Apr 2023 | ReviewPerhaps not the most popular opinion, especially among Genesis fans, but for me, this one, along with A Trick Of The Tail, is Genesis' best album. It seems to capture the best of both Genesis worlds, of the more extensive proggy workouts of early years, but imbued with the more popular, melodic sounds of what was yet to come. ...And like Trick Of The Tail, it has an atmosphere all it's own, that marks it out separately from the body of their work... but these two albums themselves, being poles apart in this respect. The the tone is set, firstly with the almost prelude of Behind The Lines, and then the album really gets going, for me, when the singular, and haunting track Duchess weaves it's spell. A brief reprise in Guide Vocal follows as an in breath, before the body of the album is presented in a collection tracks that are perhaps the strongest melodically, and in terms of pure song writing that Genesis have ever done, mostly more personal and considered, as well as emotional than usual, briefly interrupted with the uplift of Turn It On Again, which acts like a reset for side two, before ending with the epic two parter of Duke's Travel's, and Duke's End. The songs, however independently considered, hang together to form a narrative of sorts, and tell a story across the album, in the manner of an Odyssey. I finally dug my copy of this orignal vinyl out and gave it a spin again, after decades of having listened to my 94 remastered CD, and sadly find this quite lacking now, in comparison... ...It's not a bad pressing, or doesn't sound awful or anything, it's just a bit flat, and lifeless in comparison to that CD... doesn't pop, which feels at odds with the sonic drama on the album, the grandeur and epic melodic brilliance of the tunes doesn't come across that well, as well as sounding a little on the quiet side on the disc here. So I still favour the 94 CD by some distance, but if I can get a vinyl reissue that sounds at least as good as that CD, I certainly would opt for that, as this is not only my favourite Genesis album, it's also somewhere in my top five favourite albums ever in general. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review? | |
