I worked my way back through all their albums and stopped at Nursery Cryme. I assuned that Trespass would be "worse". How wrong I was.

I rate this as one of their best albums ever. It's brilliantlty direct, exciting and invigorating. It has a similar feel in parts to the harder moments on Lamb Dies Down. Looking for someone starts off with a strong vocal. It's a heavier, rockier sound, but still really tuneful. White Mountain has a beatutiful accoustic guitar riff. Stagnation stands out as a really moving track. I've listened to it countless times and it always moves me. Dusk is fine, though some of the backing vocals are a bit twee. The much vauned Knife is OK, but not the best moment on the album to me.

I really do think this album is better than most of the subesequent realeases. Certainly better than Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot and Selling England (Firth of Fith and Cinema Show excepeted).
