Our Take

Allow me to set the scene for you, dear readers, as we delve into the enchanting world of Genesis's "New York By The Pound Vol. 1." Picture this: the year is 1973, the Big Apple is bustling with life, and progressive rock is at its peak. Now, close your eyes and let the eclectic sounds of Genesis transport you back to a time of musical exploration and whimsy.

From the opening track, "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight," we are met with a fusion of whimsical lyrics, intricate instrumentation, and Peter Gabriel's haunting vocals. The band effortlessly weaves through various genres, from the folk-inspired "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" to the jazz-infused "The Battle of Epping Forest."

But it is the 23-minute epic, "Supper's Ready," that truly steals the show. A magnum opus that takes the listener on a surreal journey through mystical landscapes and cryptic lyrics, showcasing the band's remarkable musicianship and storytelling prowess.

While some may find the album's avant-garde nature a bit perplexing, those who appreciate a good sonic adventure will be left spellbound by Genesis's intricate tapestry of sound. "New York By The Pound Vol. 1" is a musical odyssey that transcends time and genre, solidifying Genesis's rightful place in the pantheon of prog-rock legends. Strap in, dear readers, and prepare to be dazzled by this psychedelic masterpiece.

About the artist

Genesis

PROFILE: GENESIS Genesis, the legendary English rock band that emerged in the progressive rock era of the 1970s, has solidified their status as one of the most influential and innovative acts in music history. With a discography that spans over four decades, the band is known for their intricate and complex musical compositions, featuring elaborate arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics. Led by the incomparable Peter Gabriel in their early years, Genesis quickly established themselves as pioneers of the prog-rock movement with albums like "Foxtrot" and "Selling England by the Pound." Gabriel's theatrical stage presence and distinctive vocal style set them apart from their peers, earning them a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. After Gabriel's departure, drummer Phil Collins took over as lead vocalist, steering the band towards a more commercial sound. Hits like "Invisible Touch" and "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" dominated the charts, showcasing Collins' soulful voice and the band's knack for crafting catchy pop hooks. Despite lineup changes and musical evolutions, Genesis has remained a powerhouse in the music industry, selling out stadiums and inspiring countless artists along the way. Their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 cemented their legacy as one of the greatest bands of all time. Whether you're a die-hard prog-rock aficionado or a casual listener looking for some classic rock vibes, Genesis has something for everyone. So crank up the volume, sit back, and let the timeless sounds of Genesis transport you to a world of musical bliss.
