Like a number of other prog rock bands in this collection, Genesis doesn't need more than one album for the vast majority of us to get the feel for them, and it's particularly frustrating that the two Genesis albums in this collection were created and released only a couple of years apart. At the very least, it would have been nice to get one Peter Gabriel-helmed album, and one Phil Collins-led album, but I guess that's not meant to be. I'm not sure I could say that I enjoyed this album much more than "Selling England By The Pound", and I definitely wish this wasn't a double-album, as it loses steam long before the second disc is even ready, but I'll give them credit for taking the whole "concept album" concept pretty literally. I'd also say that the best tracks are found as you flip from Side 1 to Side 2 ("The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging" and "Back in N.Y.C." in particular), although "Counting out time" is also a fun self-contained number that also seem pretty out of place. As a soundtrack to a musical about a Puerto Rican kid on a spiritual journey, it's definitely more musically interesting and engaging than Andrew Lloyd Weber's rock-oriented compositions (and I would highly recommend reading the Wikipedia entry for the album for the plot summary, as there's no way I would have ever found a story from the songs themselves). But that may not be saying much, I admit. And props to Peter Gabriel for finding some inspiration from Jodorowsky's films, with all their bizarre/allegorical mind-bending qualities. Interesting too that both Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel cite it as their favorite Genesis album.
