From Genesis to Revelation
Genesis
Review:
“Every band has to start somewhere” JP and with Genesis’ “members barely past their 18th birthdays… [they were] still working out what they wanted to sound like.” BE As “produced by English impresario Jonathan King,” JP “they sound like the Bee Gees… (picture something similar to the…Odessa album)” BE “trying to be the Moody Blues,” BE albeit “an earnest, mushy, cliché-spouting knockoff” JP of the latter.
“The Silent Sun and Where the Sour Turns to Sweet are pleasant enough, but scarcely indicate the true potential of the group or its members. A pleasant enough piece of pop-psychedelia/art rock, but not a critically important release, except to the truly dedicated.” BE “The most amazing thing about this album – a true relic of late-1960s hokum – is that Genesis didn’t change the band name out of embarrassment.” JP
