The best
It all comes down to opinion, doesn't it?
The first Genesis album after Peter Gabriel and the best. Nothing before or after has the depth, quality or ingenuity. Sure, there are bits of other albums which are good(I've got several of them) but nothing is quite as good as this whole 'package'.
I love it.

Genesis - A Trick Of The Tail.2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
This album is out on it's own, Collins brought out the best in the singing of/drumming in these song titles, others will disagree, but this was the new breed at the time.
I first remember listing to this on vinyl in the 70's in my bedroom in the north-east of England,(the artwork was fascinating in gatefold and inner-sleeve). I loaned it from a school friend, gave it back after two days and headed straight for the record shop to get my own copy with my hard earned paper-round money. I needed to keep hearing it.
I purchased this remaster and it still has the same attraction for me today after all this time. This really is an album of great songs, put together with brilliant musicianship and excellent sound production. Sound-wise in the home, even better with the sound equipment we have today.
When you first cut into 'Dance on a Volcano', the bass and drums chart the way for the more 'ballsy' songs you're going to hear. Then, as the brilliant strings of Mr Hackett come to the fore in the lighter and more melodic sounds, it brings about the other side of the brilliance of this band at this time in their career.
I'm glad this album is now 'back home' in my collection. Totally recommended.

Best Genesis album ever.1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Lost 3 vinyl albums over the years. Now got it safely stored electronically.
A really nostalgic reminder of boyhood in the 70's and some of the things we did listening to it in the 80's. Pure class.

No Gabriel but the best Genesis album4 of 4 people found this review helpful.
Oddly I preferred Genesis with Peter Gabriel but consider this their finest studio album.
To me, Phil Collins was always at the other end of the 'spectrum of credibility' but sometimes he surprises you. This album was before the emergence of 'the Picnic Hamper brigade' Collins with his soft Disney solo songs. Here we get his talent plus that of Messrs Banks, Rutherford and Hackett in equal shares.
There's not a duff track on this disc at all. Collins takes over lead vocals in an assured manner. The remainder of the band continue to mature and grow. Forget compilations - this has to played in its entirity from start to finish.
