TRESPASS

Ahhh... NOW THAT'S PETER'S VOICE!, I thought by listening to those very first seconds of the album after suffering through the guys' first high-school times experiment. Only a year passed between the two albums but it seems they grew up in a flash!

In any case, these first Genesis albums have a general boredom quality to them that I haven't been able to shake off these years. But it all comes down to how good the songs end up being. And the first three ones are really enjoyable: "Looking for Someone"'s instrumental passages may go for a little too long, but the end result is positive. "White Mountain"'s melody succeeds in joining the lyrics to create a really coherent atmosphere within this almost mythological foxes and wolves story. And "Visions of Angels"... don't remember anything particular about it right now, to be honest, but nice song.

"Stagnation" is a quite long journey, but it ends up in one of the most beautiful and emotional epic endings this band has ever done.

"Dusk" is the only song I can't stand here.

The legendary "The Knife" closes this example of "second album being a hundred times better than the first". Very energetic, but too long for my tastes.

Onward!
