SECONDS OUT

GENESIS' "Second's Out" is a classic "Genesis Mark II - period" album with some great live performances. Of course at this stage in GENESIS' history Phil COLLINS had replaced Peter GABRIEL on lead vocals and drumming was contributed by Chester Thompson and Bill Bruford on tours. Songs performed include stirring renditions of "Cinema Show", "Afterglow" and "Dance On A Volcano" & "Los Endos". Although I always have preferred GABRIEL on the lead vocals, Phil does a great job in creating Gab's expressions and phrasing. "Seconds Out" sounds best when you have the bass and volume on 11. I love the deep bass vibes achieved with Rutherford's Moog Taurus pedals and Bank's Mellotron runs. An essential double album from the gods of progressive rock! And a monster album to boot...
