Every single track on this album is brilliant. I was leaning toward robbery assault and battery for the wild instrumental section, but landed on Tony’s Magnus opus, Mad Man Moon.
All tracks are great in their own way (ahem), but MMM gets my vote for being Epic. It has a feeling of having taken a journey.
Los endos is the weakest for me. For the longest time, I thought it was filler, a summary of this and past albums. I’ve never put it by itself to listen to.
Hope you guys talk about “It’s Yourself”, such a nice song, the album would be even more amazing if it was included.
This is so difficult… ended up voting for MMM but pretty much the entire album is amazing. My favorite Genesis album, can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!
PS: The first four tracks’ sequencing is probably the finest the band ever did. Can’t think of any other 4 songs run in Genesis’ discography that is as strong as this one, though The Lamb and Duke come sorta close (Cuckoo Cocoon and Guide Vocal being the respective weakest links)
My vote was for Los Endos. I probably have been shaded by the brilliant performances of this track on the 2007 Turn It On Again tour and on Steve Hackett’s recent Genesis Revisited tour.
Every track is my favourite at some point. I picked “Ripples” because every time I hear it I have to stop what I’m doing, close my eyes, and let it take me away.
Saw Steve Hackett in Edinburgh in November- same venue as I saw The Lamb tour!
New drummer absolutely fantastic, but Steve might be better to leave the vocals with Nadd…
Very much enjoyed the two part Lamb critique, but have to put The Waiting Room down with the Slippermen.
Keep up the good work – intelligent, informed and very amusing with a great interactive team.
Bravo!
Nice one uncle!
Yes I saw Steve Hackett in Edinburgh and the guitar playing and especially the “drumming* were see inspiring
Steve played Dance LAB and it was mesmerising!
Made Sylvan vocal ace also and this my favourite
from Trick,………..
Please excuse earlier errors above.
Dance on a volcano my fave track
Edinburgh concert Steve Hackett band
Performed this beautifully
(The Elastic Band)
Mad Man Moon is beautiful
Seconds Out was my introduction to Genesis and I gave it back to the guy who loaned it to me, singing. “You’d better start doing it right!” So I’ll have to pick Dance On A Volcano, which blew me away. So many others on there that I love but if you’re a muso and would appreciate a chord by chord appreciation of the song check out Rick Beato’s ‘What Makes This Song Great? video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOtw3ZYREhA&t=10s
I have a lot of affection for Robbery Assault & Battery…it’s like a short film with characters, comedy, action and a cool finale. Plus a great and proggy keyboard solo by Tony Banks
