I love solo Peter Gabriel. I am contemptuous to solo Phil Collins. I’d previously only heard latter day Genesis that was reductive boring FM pop. This is worse. It’s actually worse than the Brian Eno record which is really a new low charted for this list.
While I do have a lot of Peter Gabriel and Post-Peter Genesis in my collection, I haven't spent much time on their time together. That being said, I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, especially The Cinema Show, which is very Genesis regardless of lineup. 3/5
I have to like Genesis, my Mum says so. My childhood was filled with Genesis, but I can't really remember much of it. I think my Mum (and Dad, come to think of it), were more into post-Gabriel Genesis, so this is fairly new to me. Although I have just reached up to a CD rack near my and pulled a cassette tape out, and it is 'A Trick of the Tail' if that counts. Rambling a bit, JUST LIKE THIS FIRST SONG, am I right?! Kidding, this is great so far. The bass sounds great, I always hear the bass first. Lovely record, just sit back, relax, and listen to the stories. 3 / 5 stars.
A band I’ve always meant to spend more time with. I’ve always had a copy of Invisible Touch (just picked up an OG the other day) and I know the Lamb Lies Down very well. HUGE fan of Gabriel’s solo stuff and a fan of Collins’ solo stuff but never dug into the rest of their catalog. I mean I’ve heard this but never gave it the time it probably deserves. I have a feeling this is exactly the kind of music that people who hate prog rock are talking about when they say they hate prog rock. It’s very English. Very noodly. Very full of itself. I’m honestly not sure where I fall half way through it. I’m still mixed on my third listen. There are parts I really dig then there are parts where it makes me want to stuff things in my ears. I have a feeling this is not the best starting place.
