content: Rarely does a hugely epic rock band like Genesis have there lead singer quit, only to have that band release one of their greatest albums post the lead singers departure. A Trick of the Tail is nothing short of a masterpiece. The critics foolishly predicted the bands demise once Gabriel stepped out of the fold. This is an album that requires multiple listens, Its technical but still accsessible. Collins vocals are strong and quite gabriel like, This is definatly a progressive rock album closer to there original style of writing and playing. I will not go into detail over every song due to the fact that so many have already written about that. I will just say one more thing, I to prefer the Peter Gabriel era of Genesis, However, it would be unwise to dismiss all the great work the band put out after gabriel left, and this is a prime example of that point. Actually I prefer this album way more over Gabriels first solo album.
