I still get my thrill when the Phillips electric lead throttles Rutherford's immense bass , near the end of the track, a few seconds of utter genius. Trespass is my #2 after SEBTP !

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Tresspass is a great album, maybe at the same level than Nursery Crime, but below than Foxtrot or Selling England by the pound. The Knife, White Mountain, Stagnation and Vision of Angels are the best for me. Looking for someone runs behind and Dusk is the weak one (but good too). The album has a dramatic and enigmatic feeling. A problem with Tresspass is that it has not an oustanding song like Foxtrot or SEBP. Of course, the guys were just starting, and into this context is a great album.

The problem with Trespass is that a lot of the instrumental breaks (certainly not all, but many) in the first half of the album are kinda dull and overly stretched out without enough happening in them to compensate. The songs themselves are fine, but there's a lot of dross to pick through with them. The second half, on the other hand, is fantastic.

I think it's the only Genesis album where parts some of the songs gave me goosebumps.

It's hard for me to compare Trespass to the other Genesis albums. Nursery Cryme to Selling England all have a recognisably similar sound, but like The Lamb, there's something about Trespass that is just special.
Top moment for me is definitely White Mountain, with the Knife a close second ... but I wouldn't underrate any of the songs on this album.

Trespass was my first introduction to early Genesis and I will always hold this album with high regard, all the tracks enjoyable and have their 'goose bump' moments, Visions Of Angels is one my favorite's and The Knife is just superb, a good way to end the album considering all previous songs are rather dreamy and subdued in their own way.

I'm also a big fan of Trespass, Visions of Angels is superb, as is The Knife. Actuallly the whole album is very good, and Ant's guitar makes it a different beast from the later Gabriel era Genesis. The leap that the band made between Genesis to Revelation and Trespass was massive, and Trespass is the gateway album for all the progess made later. Forget GTR, it all started here!

Trespass is a wonderful album, Stagnation is an epic piece of music, and The Knife is overflowing with energy and the kind of agression they would fine tune in later albums. Visions of Angels is simply divine, and it's just an all around great album!

A good album but no masterpiece whereas the other Gbariel era albums are, or at least close to it.
Trespass is very raw around the edge and painfull y pastoral, th i fyou like thayt type of music theres your album. The KNife is brilliant but the rest is clutching at straws (another good album btw)

Trespass is a wonderful album for my tastes. I'd rank The Knife near the bottom of all the tracks. Stagnation and Visions Of Angels at the top.

I like the second half, but the first (especially the opener, ironically) half makes me fall asleep almost every time. If you ask me, the only time Genesis have really done anything acceptable without Gabriel is with Trick of the Tail. (and that's partly because they copied his style on that album)

How can you not like this album 
Visions of Angels, Stagnation, Dusk, Looking for someone, The knife are all pretty good songs. Nursery only has about 2 songs as good as these. Foxtrot and Trespass are the 2 Genesis albums i play to friends the most. The lamb and Selling England are played in moderation but I'm a bit embarrased by Gabriel at times

WHOA, Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel may be a bit strange but they would never go gay for each other, I know that much.

It's not that people don't really like it. It's just an overlooked album due to the absolute classics that follow it.

Whoa my mind just went CinemaZebra for a second. I was a little boy when I first "tricked" and didn't know any better

If you can stick a vinyl like " Trespass" on the old turntable and still feel a shiver of excitement 40 years after first playing it then it is your "own personal classic" regardless of what others feel about it. After "Foxtrot" the innocent magic somehow disappeared. How often does that happen when the gut artistry gets supplanted with commercial targets?

Tresspass is a very good album, indeed. But why don't you admit Selling England by Pound suck? (Yay! 100th post!)
