Music Reviews of Genesis 1976-1982Music Review: The DVD's are worth the price of admission Rating: 5 Stars
Simply put, this collection is outstanding. To hear Wind and Wuthering with clarity is great. To hear some of the songs that have long been missing from the Genesis CD catalogue, and to have them all in one place is wonderful. But the items that truly make this collection great are the DVD's. "In The Cage" on the Duke DVD is recorded before the 3 Sides Live era. The interviews, while I know are not new, I had never seen. And finally, to see all the other live footage with Steve Hacket is wonderful! If you are a true fan of this era of Genesis, do not hesitate on this one.
Music Review: Worth A Million $$ To A Genesis Fan!! Rating: 5 Stars
I'm a Genesis fan from birth and own everything the band ever put out with the exception of later day remixes and compilations, as I found them unnecessary. This however ... OMFG!! These mixes are insane. It's like being in the mixing room and listening off an old analogue 2" reel to reel - AND - the bonus footage is priceless.
If you want ballz 2 the wall prog rock, check out these mixes on a LOUD stereo, with or without surround, and blow your head off.
If you don't, then move on.
Music Review: Computer Catastrophe! Rating: 2 Stars
I was very excited to hear the remastered sound of this CD by first playing it through my computer speakers on my iMac and then hurriedly transferring it to my iPod. One major problem: the CD would not even load in my computer. I tried three times but it ejected the disc every time! Anyone else having this
By the way, I did give it two stars in place of the four that I thought that I would be giving it based on my familiarity and happiness with the music.
Music Review: a definite TREASURE!!!! Rating: 5 Stars
The bonus dvd's included with each album contains some really incredible footage!!! On Trick of the Tail especially... it contains a concert film that I only remember seeing in the theaters with my oldest brother AGES ago when I was first getting into Genesis. To finally own a copy of that amazing film...... BLEW ME AWAY!!!!!! I watch it a LOT and think it's just a fantastic preview of the live band they became in their more commercially-popular times!!! A DEFINITE MUST-GET!!!!!
Music Review: "A Trick Of The Tail" Alone Rating: 5 Stars
Having followed Genesis from the very start of the band , I understand , and appreciate all the Gabriel versus Collins arguments. But from whatever camp you come from , or choose to like better , this music has NEVER sounded better. "A Trick Of The Tail" alone is worth the price of the box. Great extras on the DVD's , great packaging , at a great price....But honestly, I can't hardly wait to hear "Supper's Ready" and "Musical Box" (Can you guess my camp ?)
