This Genesis collection, which has appeared under license to various labels in
addition to Decca and London in different configurations, is largely of
historical interest. The group was still in its formative stages, the
members barely past their 18th birthdays and still working out what they
wanted to sound like. Mostly they sound like the Bee Gees trying to be
the Moody Blues (picture something similar to the sound of the former
group's Odessa album). "The Silent Sun" and "Where the Sour Turns to
Sweet" are pleasant enough, but scarcely indicate the true potential of
the group or its members. A pleasant enough piece of pop-psychedelia/art
rock, but not a critically important release, except to the truly
dedicated.

Genesis' first truly progressive album, and their first record for the Charisma label
(although Trespass was released in America by ABC, which is how MCA came
to have it), is important mostly as a formative effort. Peter Gabriel,
Tony Banks, and Michael Rutherford are here, but the guitarist is
Anthony Phillips and the drummer is John Mayhew. Gabriel, Banks,
Phillips, and Rutherford are responsible for the compositions, which are
far more ambitious than the group's earlier efforts ("Silent Sun,"
etc.). Unfortunately, much of what is here is more interesting for what
it points toward than what it actually does -- the group reflects a
peculiarly dramatic brand of progressive rock, very theatrical as music,
but not very successful. The lyrics are complex enough but lack the
unity and clarity that would make Genesis' subsequent albums among the
most interesting of prog rock efforts to analyze. Gabriel's voice is
very expressive but generally lacks power and confidence, while the
conventional backup vocalizing by the others is wimpy, and Phillips'
playing is muted. Tony Banks' keyboards are the dominant instruments,
which isn't that bad, but it isn't the Genesis that everyone came to
know. The soft, lyrical "Visions of Angels" and "Stagnation" are
typical, gentle works by a band that later learned how to rock much
harder. Only one of the songs here, "The Knife" -- which rocks harder
than anything else on Trespass and is easily the best track on the album
-- lasted in the group's concert repertory past the next album.

If Genesis truly established themselves as progressive rockers on Trespass, Nursery
Cryme is where their signature persona was unveiled: true English
eccentrics, one part Lewis Carroll and one part Syd Barrett, creating a
fanciful world that emphasized the band's instrumental prowess as much
as Peter Gabriel's theatricality. Which isn't to say that all of Nursery
Cryme works. There are times when the whimsy is overwhelming, just as
there are periods when there's too much instrumental indulgence, yet
there's a charm to this indulgence, since the group is letting itself
run wild. Even if they've yet to find the furthest reaches of their
imagination, part of the charm is hearing them test out its limits,
something that does result in genuine masterpieces, as on "The Musical
Box" and "The Return of the Giant Hogweed," two epics that dominate the
first side of the album and give it its foundation. If the second side
isn't quite as compelling or quite as structured, it doesn't quite
matter because these are the songs that showed what Genesis could do,
and they still stand as pinnacles of what the band could achieve.

Genesis proved that they could rock on Foxtrot but on its follow-up Selling England by
the Pound they didn't follow this route, they returned to the English
eccentricity of their first records, which wasn't so much a retreat as a
consolidation of powers. For even if this eight-track album has no one
song that hits as hard as "Watcher of the Skies," Genesis hasn't
sacrificed the newfound immediacy of Foxtrot: they've married it to
their eccentricity, finding ways to infuse it into the delicate whimsy
that's been their calling card since the beginning. This, combined with
many overt literary allusions -- the Tolkeinisms of the title of "The
Battle of Epping Forest" only being the most apparent -- gives this
album a storybook quality. It plays as a collection of short stories,
fables, and fairy tales, and it is also a rock record, which naturally
makes it quite extraordinary as a collection, but also as a set of
individual songs. Genesis has never been as direct as they've been on
the fanciful yet hook-driven "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" --
apart from the fluttering flutes in the fade-out, it could easily be
mistaken for a glam single -- or as achingly fragile as on "More Fool
Me," sung by Phil Collins. It's this delicate balance and how the album
showcases the band's narrative force on a small scale as well as large
that makes this their arguable high-water mark.

Given all the overt literary references of Selling England by the Pound, along with
their taste for epic suites such as "Supper's Ready," it was only a
matter of time before Genesis attempted a full-fledged concept album,
and 1974's The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was a massive rock opera: the
winding, wielding story of a Puerto Rican hustler name Rael making his
way in New York City. Peter Gabriel made some tentative moves toward
developing this story into a movie with William Friedkin but it never
took off, perhaps it's just as well; even with the lengthy libretto
included with the album, the story never makes sense. But just because
the story is rather impenetrable doesn't mean that the album is as well,
because it is a forceful, imaginative piece of work that showcases the
original Genesis lineup at a peak. Even if the story is rather hard to
piece together, the album is set up in a remarkable fashion, with the
first LP being devoted to pop-oriented rock songs and the second being
largely devoted to instrumentals. This means that The Lamb Lies Down on
Broadway contains both Genesis' most immediate music to date and its
most elliptical. Depending on a listener's taste, they may gravitate
toward the first LP with its tight collection of ten rock songs, or the
nightmarish landscapes of the second, where Rael descends into darkness
and ultimately redemption (or so it would seem), but there's little
question that the first album is far more direct than the second and it
contains a number of masterpieces, from the opening fanfare of the title
song to the surging "In the Cage," from the frightening "Back in NYC"
to the soothing conclusion "The Carpet Crawlers." In retrospect, this
first LP plays a bit more like the first Gabriel solo album than the
final Genesis album, but there's also little question that the band
helps form and shape this music (with Brian Eno adding extra coloring on
occasion), while Genesis shines as a group shines on the
impressionistic second half. In every way, it's a considerable, lasting
achievement and it's little wonder that Peter Gabriel had to leave the
band after this record: they had gone as far as they could go together,
and could never top this extraordinary album.

After Peter Gabriel departed for a solo career, Genesis embarked on a long journey
to find a replacement, only to wind back around to their drummer, Phil
Collins, as a replacement. With Collins as their new frontman, the band
decided not to pursue the stylish, jagged postmodernism of The Lamb Lies
Down on Broadway -- a move that Gabriel would do in his solo career --
and instead returned to the English eccentricity of Selling England by
the Pound for its next effort, A Trick of the Tail. In almost every
respect, this feels like a truer sequel to Selling England by the Pound
than Lamb; after all, that double album was obsessed with modernity and
nightmare, whereas this album returns the group to the fanciful fairy
tale nature of its earlier records. Also, Genesis were moving away from
the barbed pop of the first LP and returning to elastic numbers that
showcased their instrumental prowess, and they sounded more forceful and
unified as a band than they had since Foxtrot. Not that this album is
quite as memorable as Foxtrot or Selling England, largely because its
songs aren't as immediate or memorable: apart from "Dance on a Volcano,"
this is about the sound of the band playing, not individual songs, and
it succeeds on that level quite wildly -- to the extent that it proved
to longtime fans that Genesis could possibly thrive without its former
leader in tow.
