Customer Reviews of Trespass

One of the best album ever made
I'm a listener of all kind of music, I was listening King Crimson at 10 years old. I consider part of the progressive rock of the '70 , the modern music that the most closer reach the beauty and the power of the music itself, when it really reaches your emotions and your heart.
Trespass is one of the Genesis's best album, along with Foxtrot, Nursery, Selling and Lamb.
In a way Trespass reaches the highest point of Genesis' pureness, creativity and greatness, there is what I consider one of the best progressive rock and no prog rock album ever made. Beginning with Looking for someone, outstanding piece, deep meaning, sweet and hurting melodies,
Stopping by Stagnation, which is an amazing song, great melodies, great words, the unique atmosphere that only Genesis and few other can give, Stagnation is a masterpiece, listen at it deeply an you'll agree with me, a poem of music.
The knife is the ultimate porg rock song, wonderful hard melodies, screaming, an absolutely out of the ordinary Steve Hackett's guitar solo, you can listen at this album over and over for an entire life and never get sick of it.
If I would be in a desert island and I would have the choice of having 10 albums to listen for the rest of my days I'd include Trespass with no doubts .
I'm sorry for my English, I'm not a native and therefore not a perfect writer, hope you got the meaning though: Trespass: Music Masterpiece.

Underappreciated But No Less Vital
I think Trespass is probably the most overlooked and under-appreciated albums in the Genesis catalog. Released in 1970, it has a few things going against it from the start. It didn't feature future front-man Phil Collins and it was released as a one-off in the United States on MCA records. Because of this, it typically isn't marketed with the entire Genesis catalog and did not receive the remastering it deserved until after Atlantic had remastered its Genesis holdings.

Trespass clearly lights the path for future Gabriel-era releases. While its predecessor, the debut From Genesis To Revelation, featured three-minute pop songs, Trespass relies more heavily on typical progressive rock blending acoustic and electric guitars with haunting keyboard work and Peter Gabriel's unique vocals. And despite the fact that drummer Phil Collins does not appear on this album, the percussion work is surprisingly strong. While Steve Hackett is credited with developing the trademark Genesis guitar sound, its amazing to hear the guitar work on this album. Guitarist Anthony Phillips truly laid the groundwork for the Genesis guitar sound (Steve Hackett joined with Collins the following year).

Trespass has its flaws. It suffers from age and the production isn't perfect. But it's an important piece in the development of Genesis.

Genesis were
Genesis were at their best during their early period (1967-1975). Thats when they were at thier most creative and multitalented and Trespass thier second album perfectly shows this on all its long songs which are most of the album. The band play instruments here like the dulcimer and the cello. Tony adds his first synth, The Mellotron (a synth that makes multiple woodwind and string orchestra sounds) to his piano and organ on this album. Peter Gabrial who simply sang on the songs on the first album plays the accordian as well as the flute, tamborine and bass drum!! The band combine hard rock and beutifull baledry on all the songs save The Knife which is pretty much all hard rock. The only drawbacks are the shorter songs Dusk and Visions Of Angels which are simpler and less fleshed out then the other 4 songs but this album is a big improvement over From Genesis To Revelation (the band play more and show off thier talents nicely this time around) and the beggining of the band as a powerfull Prog Rock force.
