| | Genesis: Album Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) |
 | | Genesis sound like teenagers on From Genesis To Revelation, slightly awkward and yet to establish their own distinct identity, but it's quite astounding to think that they were only in their early twenties when they recorded masterpieces like Foxtrot and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. |
 | | King plasters the album with orchestration, which dominates the group's basic instrumentation (acoustic guitars, group egotist Tony Banks manages to limit his contribution to one piano track per song, while the drummer is largely limited to insipid percussion) although it's difficult to imagine how interesting this album would be without it. |
 | | While Genesis are justifiably criticised for their lack of instrumental skills in comparison to their progressive rock contemporaries, their albums through the early 1970s are among the finest committed to vinyl; Gabriel's lyrical themes are consistently intriguing, often giving the albums a tinge of spirituality, while the group are consistently tasteful and melodic. |
