Genesis: A Trick of The Tail

This album took me by surprise. For years, Duke and Abacab were my favorite Phil Collins/trio-era Genesis albums. They still are favorites, in fact. But once I got the CD version of Trick, it finally hit me how much depth there was to this album, and I “got” it. There is a lot of the old Genesis influence there (this is, after all, Phil’s debut as the group’s full-time lead singer, and Steve Hackett is still aboard), but it also taps into some new territory for the band.
