Yes, it's true that I gave nine Genesis albums in a row a full 5-star rating, although I would have felt guilty at giving any of those classic albums anything less than five stars. Smile

Wow, you're super confident with handing out those 5 stars.
I get that it's tempting, and even now when i'm on a bit of a Genesis high, I still have to be honest...

From Genesis to Revelation - 2 
Trespass - 3 
Nursery Cryme - 4
Foxtrot - 4
Selling England - 4.5
The Lamb - 4
A Trick of the Tail - 4.5
Wind and Wuthering - 3.5
And then there were three - 3.5
Duke - 3
Abacab - 3

Have not listened to Genesis after this point, save for a few songs.
Levitating downwards,
atomic feedback scream.

That looks like a very fair rating for all of Genesis' albums and it's very much in line with my own album ratings. I was tempted to give the disappointing Abacab and Calling All Stations albums  lowly 2-star ratings too, but I must have been in a generous mood that day when I was handing ratings out. Smile

I'm really surprised that Foxtrot only just scrapes in at #12 on your list when it's one of the most highly-regarded albums here. Shocked

Your ratings are the most similar to mine out of all the Genesis ratings lists posted here so far. Smile

We agree on about half of the Genesis album ratings, although a 1-star rating for Calling All Stations is a bit harsh. Smile

I agree with most of your ratings except Duke would be a four and maybe a three for ATTWT. Other than that it would be very similar. 
"And Then There Were Three" sounds like a crossover album to me where Genesis were evolving from a Prog-Rock band into a regular Pop/Rock band, but not for the better - although it didn't do their album sales any harm throughout the 1980's. Smile
Don't let the hit song fool you. ATTWT is fricken' awesome. I wish it was a double album as the group claimed to have enough songs available at the time. Smile

Albums from 1970 to 1978 are 5 stars. (It's Genesis for Christ's sake!). Albums 1980-1981 are 3 stars. All the albums following 1981 are 2 stars including From Genesis To Revelation from 1969.
