  A Trick of the Tail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Trick of the Tail is the first studio album by progressive rock band Genesis following the mid-1975 departure of original vocalist Peter Gabriel, and was released in 1976.
Despite the fact that Trick was the first Genesis album in which individual band members received songwriting credits (highlighting the increasing compositional dominance of Banks), the band very much sounds like a unit as it performs, with Banks's and Hackett's lines becoming at points nearly indistinguishable.
A Trick of the Tail, along with the 1977 release Wind and Wuthering, is generally considered one of Genesis's finest albums.

 Wind & Wuthering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wind and Wuthering was released within a year of the band's previous studio effort, the popular A Trick of the Tail.
Additionally, while on Trick live background vocals were limited to the songs "Mad Man Moon" and "A Trick Of The Tail," on Wind background vocals are much more prevalant.
Collins's vocals are still mostly difficult to discern without the lyrics, but in the song "One For The Vine," the heavily-chorused, treble-heavy effect used with wild abandon in the 1980s upon Collins's voice makes its debut on the chorus, contrasting considerably against the soft and pensive vocal style in the majority of the song.

Pulling the tail on a coon hide is easy if done as part of the skinning process.
A tail cutting guide also works nice then to make a good straight cut down the tail once the bone is out.This method works good for a tail bearing animals.

 GENESIS - A Trick Of The Tail (Part 3)
However, part of the beauty of A Trick Of The Tail is that the song sequencing works so well as is, and placing It's Yourself on the album would change the effect.

A Trick Of The Tail was a special moment in Genesis history, one of their finest albums and tours, and when considering the history of "progressive rock", this (and it's excellent successor, Wind And Wuthering) should not be ignored.

 GENESIS A Trick Of The Tail reviews and MP3
Occasionally Trick is a little bit too sweet and mellow but in a typical prog rock way with the inclusion of lots of delicate twelve string acoustic guitar, but when it is more agressive it stands up with the best of the Gabriel led stuff.
A trick of the tail is a more conventional album than its predecessor The Lamb which was way too experimental for some of the fans.
The lyrics tell the first person perspective of a humanoid being provided with a tail, who is then trapped by some people and showed around as a circus freak, until the moment when he breaks free and convinces them to follow him in order to catch a glimpse of the place where he comes from.

GENESIS - A Trick Of The Tail (Dougie-ized)
A Trick Of The Tail is a lovely, varied, powerful album that proves just how much the band had grown as musicians and as writers.
What ATOTT lacks in lyrical bite or vocal delivery (and this is no criticism of the otherwise fine lyrics and Collins' admirable attempts at replacing an excellent singer) is more than made up for by the power and clarity of the music.

So, they lose some of the musical eccentricities of the past, but their gain a measure of polish by sticking to the strong melodies and more tightly structured songs.
Trick Of The Tail was coming close to a last gasp of the avant-garde Genesis tradition, but I personally find it a highly enjoyable album that keeps a permanent place in my personal collection.

 Trick Of The Tail by Genesis CD
After ascending the heights of conceptual progressive rock on the preceding THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY, Genesis was left between a rock and a hard place, trying to define its identity anew.

Although Genesis is heralded as one of the legends of progressive rock, their progressive phase (from 1971 to 1977) really constitutes a rather short segment of their overall history.
There's not much in the way of electric guitar on A Trick of the Tail, but strangely enough it isn't missed given the melodic lushness of the 12 strings and keyboards.
The often-underrated follow-up to A Trick of the Tail, Wind and Wuthering is actually one of Genesis' best discs, and certainly one of their most progressive.

 Rolling Stone : Genesis: Trick Of The Tail : Music Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
A Trick of the Tail, the first post-Gabriel Genesis LP, confirms it, surprisingly drawing most of its strength from the writing of keyboardist Tony Banks, who contributed to all eight of the songs.
On A Trick of the Tail, Hackett backs off from sound-effect guitar to blend with Banks's keyboards.
Although the familiar themes are always apparent, A Trick of the Tail is much more straightforward, possibly because it's more a joint effort than the Gabrieldominated albums.
