Reviews of all kinds of Genesis releases
Late in 1976 Genesis released their last studio album with Steve Hackett. One third of the album is taken up by instrumentals. The album came out in the week before Christmas and has a special flair to this day.
Genesis Live was the band’s first live album. It has gained enormous respect amongst fans. In 2009 it has been rereleased in the Live Boxset, complete with surround sound and bonus tracks.
When Peter Gabriel left the band in 1975 Genesis had to reorientate and restructure. Though it was developed by a provisional band line-up, as it were, it is an album that has gained great recognition by fans and critics alike.
