A TRICK OF THE TAIL

Peter Gabriel gone of Genesis, there's his style missing, it's true, but it's still really good ! I don't know why I waited so long to buy it .. I tought it was ordinary and not as good as WIND AND WUTHERING and even DUKE, but I was wrong. DUKE is not that good and I like WIND AND WUTHERING as much as I like this one, TRICK OF THE TAIL.

I first heard 1. DANCE ON A VOLCANO and tought it was good (And I think it's a good intro for a cd like this) but it wasn't good enough to make me buy the cd before the others. 3.5/5

After I heard 3. SQUONK, again, not good enough to buy the cd before the others (I had and have the intention to buy all their cds, four are missing in my collection) and I tought I saw the color of the album, but I was a bit wrong ;) 2.5/5

Now that I have the cd, I can listen to all the songs and IT WORTH IT. 2. ENTANGLED is just so good !!! The end is so grandiose ! It worth to be listen just for the ending of the song even the rest of the song is really good :D And I really like the chords that are used. 5/5 :D

He he, 4. MAD MAN MOON .. only one word, WOW !!! The chords are really but wait THE PIANO SOLO is THE BEST piano solo ever in any prog music that I heard at 3min18. I love the piano and keyboards when they go fast .. hihihi ! The rest of the song is relly good too with of course a GENESIS sound that I love so much ! 5/5

For the fifth song, 5. ROBBERY, ASSAULT AND BATTERY, it will be short : not my style .. Sorry, my tasts tell me it is good but really not my favourite. BUT, at 4min19, it is becoming better even really good for me (this part saves the song, but too short !) 3/5

Sail Away, Away !!!!!!!!!!! It makes me sail away in my imagination. 6. RIPPLES .. The chorus, the refrain makes the song, its chords, its vocals, its instrumentation, WOW. I like the instrumental part but I don't know, the sound of the guitare and the keyboard, I don't know, something makes me think there are better instrumental part in a lot of songs of a lot of group, still the fast piano in the part is really good. 4.5/5

7. A TRICK OF THE TAIL, ever shorter : not my style. But this time, no really good instrumentale part to save the song .. 2/5

8. LOS ENDOS, the only complete instrumentale song of the cd. My favourite part is at 1min47 but the song seems to be like some songs that have been put together (with a little bit of the first track of the cd, DANCE ON A VOLCANO), it's really weird. The thing is that those songs are good :P Ok good conclusion but not a ­­­­­You-Must-Hear-It. 3.5/10

I know, it gives us a 3.5/5 note but the good part are so good and outstanding that I think for it worth 4.5/5 :D
