WTF are you listening to?

Been listening to a lot of Trespass lately (not really, but I've been replaying in my head pretty much note for note) and wondering why it never gets any love. It has that old-books-in-the-attic sort of magic I love about the band's early days, moving from majestic ("Stagnation" is definitely a prototype for "Firth of Fifth," and pretty close in terms of quality), pastoral ("Dusk," "Visions of Angels") and metal-as-fuckness ("THE KNIFE"). I think people discount it because it was another year before Collins and Hackett joined, but Anthony Phillips holds his own here. People forget he wrote all the heavy guitar parts in "The Knife," not Hackett. Would have been interesting to see where the band might have ended up had he stayed. Probably wouldn't have been that much different.

For sure man, stagnation is a wonderful track! You can tell that theyre still trying to figure out themselves on this album, but it still rules hard. It is also my understanding that Anthony wrote much of the musical box...
