A Trick of the Tail (Genesis Album)

A Trick of the Tail was the seventh studio album from English progressive rock group Genesis. It was their first release after the departure of singer Peter Gabriel in 1975, and thus the first album which truly gave Phil Collins a chance to test his mettle from the front of the stage. It was here that he began to diverge from Gabriel's influence and develop his own vocal style which would come to dominate the 1980s
. Specifically displayed in the gorgeous multi-tracked vocals in the final chorus of 'Ripples'. Additionally, Gabriel's leaving gave the other band members more space to experiment lyrically, seen most on the Banks-penned tracks 'Mad Man Moon' and 'A Trick of the Tail'.
