The Pinnacle of Progressive Rock

Review Score: (10/10)
A great album from the Kings of Progressive Rock. With this record the remaining members of Genesis were forced go it along without the great Gabriel, and follow a true classic in the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. They succeeded as no one expected. This was the first Genesis album I really latched onto and as I slowly made my way through the rest of the collection I got more and more excited in the gold mine of great music I had found. For the newbies out there wanting to experience Genesis at their progressive best, this or Selling England By The Pound are great places to start.

THE KEY TO REMEMBER WHEN BUYING A GENESIS RECORD: You can't go wrong with a record that features Steve Hackett in the lineup ('Nursery Cryme' through 'Wind & Wuthering'). These are the very best albums progressive/art rock has to offer.
