TRICK OF THE TAIL was Genesis' first LP after the departure of Peter Gabriel.

This was Genesis' first album following the departure of vocalist Peter Gabriel. After ascending the heights of conceptual progressive rock on the preceding THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY, Genesis was left between a rock and a hard place, trying to define its identity anew. With the odds against them they put in a fine showing on TRICK OF THE TAIL. The general musical mode is similar to that of LAMB--longish songs with well developed structures and arrangements and a straighter rock feel than the band's early work.

Lyrically, the band didn't attempt to equal Gabriel's conceptual mastery, choosing instead to tackle discrete subjects on each song; "Squonk" is about a mythical beast, "Entangled" centers around an unpleasant hospital stay. Phil Collins, technically a better vocalist than Gabriel to begin with, steps up admirably as lead singer (he'd already sung lead on a couple of earlier Genesis tunes), but despite the popular myth he didn't take over the band. He receives co-writing credit for only two songs on TRICK OF THE TAIL, an album that's very much a group effort.

Recorded at Trident Studios, London, England in October & November 1975.

Genesis: Phil Collins (vocals, drums, percussion); Steve Hackett (electric & 12-string guitars); Tony Banks (12-string guitar, piano, keyboards); Mike Rutherford (12-string guitar, bass).

Engineers: David Hentschel, Nick Haddock Bradford.Q (12/94, pp.162-3) - 3 Stars - Good - "...notable for the title track and the tender ballad `Ripples,' but a momentum was carrying them away from anything like a cutting edge and nearer and nearer to the big bucks..."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/01, p.82) - "...Largely written without thought as to who might sing it....Collins stepped into the breach - despite originally suggesting they proceed as an instrumental act."

5 stars Follow up to "Voyage of the Acolyte"
In 1975 Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford, and Phil Collins put together a Steve Hackett solo album called "Voyage of the Acolyte", The song "Star Of Sirius" is actually Phil's vocal debut.

4 stars ANOTHER GEM
Collins on vocals and the mind goes numb. Great, great album with true classics like LOS ENDOS, or DANCING ON A VOLCANO. Is a transition album and it sound like... Pretty good album in all ways...

4 stars Genesis ripples
Althought "Seconds Out" has a better version of some of this songs here, "Ripples" is one of the best. The lyrics in this album, and on all of the Genesis albums, can touch you and teach a lot of things if you pay attention. Very good album.
