Got this a few months ago and gave it a few listens. It didn't register with me at first, but listening to it again this evening it is really a beautiful album. It has a definite "rainy day," claustrophobic quality about it - partly because of Albarn's post-nasal drip vocals, but there's also that deep, snaking Simenon bass that really stands out. Really buzzing with all sorts of interesting ideas.

Wonderful record. Can't say it's a return to form because I really enjoyed 'Lifeblood' too. However, 'Know Your Enemy' was an awful mess. This is power pop, with GnR chords and huge chorus a la 'Everything Must Go' and 'Generation Terrorists'. It's sing-a-long, it's well-recorded and it sounds amazing live. No flab on this one, coming it at under 40 minutes. Well worth a listen.invisible Pole wrote:

2007 SACD/DVDA remaster. Sounds fantastic. Makes an already great album even better.
I got the box including this, Wind & Wuthering, And Then There Were Three..., Duke and Abacab.
Duke also sounds wonderful. The other remasters didn't make that big an impression on me, sadly not Abacab either, one of my faves.

Really getting into this one. Ironically, for such a sedate, mellow album, it sounds best played really loud.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.
I got this too, well just the individual Trick of the Tail, not the box, and yeah, I was absolutely blown away how great it sounds. Fantastic remastering job and real joy to listen to. Plus there's the Genesis in concert film on the DVD, which Im really looking foward to seeing again, I remember it being fantastic , including "I Know What I like " and "Suppers Ready"- and I have a nice new big giant HD TV to watch it on - Hooray !!!2007 SACD/DVDA remaster. Sounds fantastic. Makes an already great album even better.

If I had an advance set list I might even go and see the old boys, but I have a horrible feeling it will be all "Land of Confusion" and "I Cant Dance" and awful awful rubbish like that.
Bring on the original re-union and a full live "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"!
