A Trick Of The Tail is Genesis' seventh studio album, released in February 1976 on Charisma Records (catalogue no. CDS 4001). Produced by David Hentschel and the band, it marked a pivotal moment in Genesis history — the first album recorded without founding vocalist Peter Gabriel, with Phil Collins stepping up to lead vocals. Far from a stumble, the album was a critical and commercial triumph, reaching #3 on the UK Albums Chart and demonstrating that Genesis could not only survive the transition but thrive. Its blend of intricate prog arrangements, melodic accessibility, and lyrical whimsy made it one of the band's most beloved records.
Stand-Out Tracks
- Dance on a Volcano — A muscular, rhythmically complex opener that set the tone for the album's confident new direction; a live favourite for decades.
- Ripples — One of the album's most emotionally resonant moments, featuring delicate piano and Collins' vocals at their most tender; a collector's highlight.
- Entangled — A hauntingly beautiful acoustic piece co-written by Steve Hackett and Banks, showcasing the band's quieter, more introspective side.
- Squonk — Driven by a relentless, propulsive groove, this track is a prog-rock powerhouse and a standout for fans of the band's heavier moments.
- Los Endos — An instrumental tour de force that closes the album with themes woven from earlier tracks; a masterclass in progressive rock composition.
