We all have to start somewhere. In the case of the masters of prog; with an album like this.

This album is the odd one out in Genesis discography. And that says a lot because Genesis has done a lot of strange things. Most of all; this is the band that Jonathan King (now thankfully rotting away in a British jail for the rest of his life) discovered and threw into a studio without teh band really knowing what they wanted. The result is a mishmash of styles. But still; Peter Gabriel is still present and so is some good pastorial ideas which came into full bloom on Trespass and Foxtrot. There are also some turkeys here in the form of some folk halls type of songs (aka what David Bowie did) and some over bloated pop songs.

In short; the ideas is here, but they are not that well presented and not carried out. But it is still a decent debut album. It is still a two stars album though.

2.5 stars
