The song that changed it all... | Reviewer: Bob/Westfield, NJ | 10/1/2007

This was actually the song that convinced not only his bandmates, but Phil Collins himself, that he could actually take the reigns from Peter Gabriel, immediately ending the search for a new lead man. It's a powerful song and one of the best "story" songs genesis ever recorded. Written by the guitarist of the group, it features one of Mike Rutherford's best performances on doubleneck bass/electric with booming bass pedals. He was always good at this, but realy shines on this album. The sound and melody carried all the way into Los Endos, the final instrumental on the album, which became a huge in-concert hit as well. This became the blueprint for several other album-enders on "And Then there were Three", and "Duke". All in all, a pivotal moment for the band.

Brilliant!!!! | Reviewer: Dave/Liberty Hill,TX | 9/1/2007

A brilliant piece of craftsmenship by a truly talented group of musicians. The level of detail is astonishing as it is also responsible for the enduring success of this song. Forget "the phil collins show" material of the '80s. Squonk is the bell weather song of the prog rock movement of the 70s. What would it sound like if Peter was still with the band at the time of the recording, Hmmmm? Please consider that the most popular version of the song is also from a live concert tape. Enough.
Go listen and decide for yourself.
