I imagine there's gonna be a fine line between like and loathe with Genesis' singing, but whoever that dude is manages to sound charming, and has a fair amount of energy.

I think they might not being going for whimsical though. Sounds like Genesis is going for epic, in the LOTR sense of the word. It is a pretty epic song, but that Hammond organ makes it goofy as well. See Deep Purple for the proper use of a Hammond organ in a rock song.

I could listen to more Genesis.



I want to punch Marillion's singer in the face for being such a pompous douchebag. He makes Arcturus sound unpretentious. Other than that, I was merely bored by most of it, though there were a few good guitar and keyboard parts. Trollheart is a vag.
