5 stars Tresspass has usually been that "It's good but not a masterpiece"... Well IMO this is a true masterpiece with one flaw: Sound quality, well the recording is from 1970... but anyway the music is awesome, athmosphere is something unusual! There are six songs here, which all are strong, really strong! Looking For someone is the first one. A strong song, lyrics, music... Love it. I think White Mountain is the worst song here, well it is great anyway, Tony Banks shines here! Visions of Angels starts with one of the most beautiful pianoriff I've ever heard. It just gives you cold flushes... Then PG's voice here. Aah amazing, reminds me lot of Peter Hamill's! Stagnation, might be the best song here. Very strong in every aspect, Banks, Phillips and Gabriel shines here (surprise?), teamplay is amazing, a "must-hear-song" for every progfan. Dusk with it's great guitarwork and choir. It dunno who are singing the backround here but it is amazing! And finally The Knife, reminds me lot of "The Return of The Giant Hogweed" from Nursery Cryme, but its even better! A highly "King Crimson influental song". Well it doesnt matter, Genesis puts it out far better. A True masterpiece from Genesis with a fairytale athmosphere, a lovely musical experience for everyone interested in prog. I recommend. 4.80/5
