4.0 excellent | Nagrarok | October 29th 10 | While it can in no way whatsoever be held up to classic Genesis, Invisible Touch is, with its well-crafted pop songs such as the title track, Land of Confusion, In Too Deep and Throwing It All Away, a great record its own right. The attempts at making the album more appealing by adding some of the group's earlier progressive stylings in Tonight, Tonight, Tonight and Domino may seem like a half-hearted bid to satisfy hardcore prog-era Genesis fans, giving them another reason to completely dismiss Invisible Touch, but the truth is: this is an essential 80's staple and one of Genesis' finer post-Gabriel outings, despite pop almost completely having driven out the prog.

2.0 poor | Myishin | March 27th 12 | Largely dominated by 80's synth-pop, this is a far-cry from the original Genesis sound. The only track I found enjoyable was 'Land of Confusion'.

3.5 great | Jarvig | November 18th 10 | Quality 80s pop. Nothing like the old prog Genesis. Maybe because of their history the get punishment for making a pop album. Because this is an album better than 3.

2.0 poor | FVS | March 6th 15 | Change of progressive rock to pop, Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford created what many consider to be his "masterpiece" which is ironic because this album is mediocre.Thanks Phil, thanks for ruining Genesis with your cheesy pop.

3.5 great | manosg EMERITUS | June 3rd 19 | A product of its time, Invisible Touch is a great pop album with an excellent first half. Unfortunately, it loses some steam after "In Too Deep", but it's further testament that Phil Collins can write catchy music even in his sleep.

3.5 great | Resident Metalhead Piranha | March 27th 17 | It might be because it was my first Genesis record growing up, but Invisible Touch often hits the right spot throughout its duration. Its polished, 80's production values and poppy underbelly are a drastic departure from what was already a shift in style for the group, but it actually works most of the time. "Tonight Tonight Tonight" and "Domino" continue their trend of showing us how they never fully shifted from their prog roots despite their questionable 'progressive' nature while "Land of Confusion" and "Anything She Does" are driven by their huge choruses and upbeat tempo. The title track is their boldest statement in pure pop, and the result is an effectively catchy song. The ballads aren't good, further showing how ballads were never their forte, but as a pop record, the album excels.

4.0 excellent | SsPpAaMm | August 4th 14 | This album rocked. Invisible touch, tonight tonight tonight, land of confusion, in too deep, throwing it all away...great kick butt 80s pop songs. This album gets crap reviews because Prog genesis was better. I would go as far as to say that if there was no such thing as prog genesis and this was their first album then it would receive a lot of higher reviews due to lack of comparison.
