Genesis
From Genesis to Revelation

THE REVIEW

Someone might wonder, why write a review about an LP absolutely defined as the greatest flop in the history of this legendary group, now four decades old?

The reason is simple: re-listening to the record after a long time, I discovered that, in the end, the quality of the work by Gabriel's band is not that low-profile.

"Poverty" of production, the great damage done during the mixing phase of the tracks (one in particular, listen to "The Conqueror", and to "grasp" Phillips' excellent solo, you really need to perk up your ears), certainly didn't help make this work a success.

I wouldn't want to dwell on the individual tracks, given the little homogeneity of the work, but I would like, if you'll allow me, to give you a piece of advice: listen carefully to these songs, not just the first 30 seconds as I did the first time, but delve deeper into the listening and you will already find traces of what would later become the Genesis evolution of "Trespass".

Amid feelings of surprise and appreciation, and a smile for the naivety present in the work, praise to the 5 boys for the strength shown in moving forward, convinced of their work and their ideas, strength that would eventually lead them to become a group that entered the history of Music.

Good Music to everyone.
