WIND & WUTHERING

This album was my first attempt at listening to post-Gabriel Genesis. I'm really glad I checked it out. I love Gabriel. He's one of my favorite singers and I was apprehensive at listening to Genesis without him. I hate to say it, but this is my favorite Genesis album if I had to choose. Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound might come close, but this album has a sort of eery attraction. It's a very sad album. The cover is one of the most melancholy things I've ever seen. The album begins upbeat and ends very emotionally on a sad yet inspiring note. The final four tracks are a work of art and one of the best finales to any album I've heard.

5 stars. My favorite Genesis album. It's really something special.
