 * By mid-1976, Genesis had survived the loss of original frontman Peter Gabriel, with drummer Phil Collins taking over lead vocals, and produced the critically and commercially successful album A Trick of the Tail and supporting tour..: Please either rephrase or exclude. If you choose to rephrase please address the following:
 * the loss  is very ambiguous and can be perceived as a lot of things.
 * Changed to "departure", in a nutshell, by this point Genesis had proved they had a lasting career without Gabriel. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:50, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * produced the critically and commercially successful: Could you at least cite the phrase? (although I have my concerns about that phrase being used as is)
 * Added a ref to Bowler & Dray (also used in A Trick of the Tail). To put into context, after Gabriel left, the music press all thought "well the band leader, spokesman and only interesting person has left, so the band is toast - what, you mean the drummer is going to be the lead singer ... hahahahahaha" and subsequently all ate several rounds of humble pie when they heard the album.

 * Show why is this relevant to the topic.
 * For those of us who aren't intimately familiar with the Genesis back-story, it provides some useful context. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:50, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Agreed Kostas20142 (talk) 15:01, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * There are two broken links in citations.
 * Six, according to IABot Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:50, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Still 2 permanent dead links (the ones I meant in first place)
 * Ah, got them - as CD reissues of old albums tend to happen about once every ten years and then get less important than the original (with a few exceptions) it's difficult to find decent sources for them, and once newsworthy sites disappear once people have lost interest. Anyway, I've patched this up with a bunch of AllMusic sources. The stuff about the boxed set is a bit off-topic for this article, so that can be trimmed. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  17:37, 10 January 2018 (UTC)


 * The band worked hard: Leaning towards exclusion.
 * Fixed <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  12:50, 10 January 2018 (UTC)


 * the first time Genesis recorded an album outside of the UK: Would be better if supported by a source.
 * There isn't one directly, but I don't think it counts as original research to look at where the other albums were recorded (ie: Trident Studios, Island Studios or the Island Mobile. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  12:50, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Don't worry much about it, wasn't really going to count it as such; if you find any such mention you can add it, otherwise ignore it --Kostas20142 (talk) 15:01, 10 January 2018 (UTC)


 * The album's title derives from two pieces...: Could you please split this sentence? It is q bit confusing.
 * Done (split into three). <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  12:50, 10 January 2018 (UTC)


 * (question for my convenience mainly) What  North American leg is?
 * From https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/leg item 4 : "A stage of a journey, race etc. - After six days, we're finally in the last leg of our cross-country trip." <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  12:57, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Final review
Thanks also to for doing a lot of the legwork on this article (along with much of the Genesis back catalogue). <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  19:54, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
