This is one of the forgotten albums, and while the band would like to disown it, it's actually not a bad CD. The 2 disc set is the one to pick up. My favorite track is "In The Wilderness," although I think "Silent Sun" should be on greatest hits CD's and should be played live.

The classic line up is in place: Peter Gabriel, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks are joined by Phil Collins and Steve Hackett, and the folk is left behind for a full on prog album. "The Musical Box" is the highlight here, and one of the best Genesis songs ever recorded. Phil also makes his vocal debut on "For Absent Friends."

A rather forgetable live album. The songs all sound better on the albums. Worth buying to hear "The Knife" performed by the classic line-up.

Not a bad album, but not as good as "Selling England By The Pound." Has some classic songs on it, but the story the songs are built around is flat and uninvolving. Highlights include "Carpet Crawlers," "In The Cage," and the title track.

Though I never thought this was the masterpiece many fans believe it is, it does have my favorite Genesis song, "Afterglow." Otherwise "One For The Vine" is good but the other songs I have a hard time remembering.

This was the weakest of the Collins era albums, with the absence of Steve Hackett leaving a hole in both the writing and the sound that no one was ready to fill. "Undertow" is a nice song, but my favorite here is the big hit track, "Follow You, Follow Me."

Here's where the divide begins, and I have to say its a dumb one. Prog fans complain that Genesis develops into a popular band at this point, hit singles filling the radio. But prog was dead, and Genesis did not sell out but instead evolved. "Keep It Dark" and the title track are my favorites.

Not their best album, but even when they weren't at their best they manage to crank out the classics "Mama" and "Home By The Sea." And yes, I enjoyed the beginning of the pop days. "That's All" is catchy.

Not as good as I remember it, but still a great album. "No Son of Mine" is the highlight here, but I also loved "Driving the Last Spike" and thought "I Can't Dance" was the most fun song I'd ever heard. "Fading Lights" swells, and Phil exits stage right.

The classics... LIVE! The "Old Medley" is the reason to buy this CD.

My big complaint here is with "Carpet Crawlers 99." I love it, its the best version of the song out there, but what about that missing section after Phil sings...? That was where Ray Wilson recorded his contribution, and it was cut out. What the hell is up with that!?

Again, I don't own this. Why bother? They don't include all of Phil's b-sides and none of Ray's. They must really regret hiring Ray. I wish they'd done at least 2 more albums with him and an official live CD.

If you want to get into Genesis, start here. While "Calling All Stations" is the only Ray Wilson song included (WHY?), "From Genesis to Revelation" is excluded all together. The next CD to buy will be the official bootleg of the LA concert, which I can't wait for!!! Greatest... band... ever!

This looks as if it will be the ONLY complete, and therefor worthy, box set of the 3 being released. Has all the albums, all the videos, all the b-sides. However, the failure to include "Seconds Out" and "Three Sides Live," or to provide fans with a 4th box set for the live albums and plenty of never released live material, prevents me from buying any of these sets.

The Gabriel era, repackaged with DVD's and plenty of bonus material. However, with a 2 disc set of "From Genesis to Revelation" already available, why not just include it. I know they don't have the rights, but how hard could it be to get permission to include their debut album?

This is a frustrating set. The real draw would have been hearing Ray sing classic Genesis songs, or Phil covering "Moon-lit Knight" and other classics. What do we get? Not much. They don't even include "Live Over Europe," they just leave an empty slot for it. Cheap.
