5 stars Now is this first Prog-classic from all time great group Genesis. Even not as dramatic as later albums, here it is still very progressive and DARK. There is an haunting quality to this sound. For sure THE KNIFE is very dark and violent. I can never get bored from listening to this. Also I always feel a bit disturbed when it is finished. On the rest of the album are very nice musical conversations between the players - to include the growing presence of Peter Gabriel as a singer/interpreter/story teller. Tony Banks also starts to make more prog noise. Not so much quiet piano playing like on the first "From Genesis to Revelation". But I think the really key to Genesis sound is music style of Ant Phillips and voice of Peter Gabriel. I know many fans of this old-time Genesis do not like the song DUSK. This is a big mistake. It is so wonderful and beautiful guitar playing.
