as I have gotten older I have come to appreciate the 80's Genesis' more. when they came out could not get away from them and radio did not play the best from these albums,
I like Genesis better, Home by the sea is one of the best things the band has ever done

I prefer both of them to this tbh. And as much as I love Gabriel's work with the band, the "Collins prog" era is starting to become my favorite period of Genesis' discog

Ah man! So much more a Peter Gabriel era person. I do like Abacab.
Ages since my last jam of this old great band. ( Awesome band to re-dig)

@FR33: Don't get me wrong, the Gabriel stuff is amazing too (barring From Genesis to Revelation). But A Trick of the Tail finally displaced Foxtrot recently as my favorite album of theirs in general. There's just a certain emotional resonance with that one that hits me every time, and the music itself is still incredibly stellar

@Koris: No problemo friend, i clearly understand you. « A Trick Of The Tail » is a perso fave for me too.

The disappointment when I found out that the lyrics were not written by Phil. I thought he was the one with the Gabriel-esque lyrics.

I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
