A TRICK OF THE TAIL

One of my favorite Genesis albums toghter with Trespass and The Lamb, and even tough i rate this the same as Nercery cryme and foxtrot i prefer this one and lisen too it much more then thos two. The album starts with Dance On A Volcano superb opener, Entangled very good ballad, Squonk the hard rock song of the album but with a sweet tuch, excelent. Mad Man Moon might be the best song on the album at first i didetn realy pay atention to the lyrics and tought it was about something els which only made it beter when i studied em i got a litle let down but its still great stuff, i used to go and sing it in my head all the time. Robbery, Assault & Battery is by far my least favorite of the album the lyrics are repated way to many times over and over and it yust gets boring its a comic song but not realy very fun. Ripples gets us back on track again another long and great balladish song with some good and unusual keyboard playing by Banks in the midle of it. A Trick Of The Tail is a fun and litle song in the same style as squonk, about a litle devil some explorers find, if i got the story right with good music and its pretty much the last song since the ending Los endos is a bit of a filler yust the same themes from the other songs mixed toghter and palyed over again. No masterpice but a very good pop prog album loaded with chatchy melody's and sweet singing from Collins, which was a superb replacement for Gabriel. 4.5 stars.
