A Great Piece Of Work

Here is my track by track guide to this album:



Invisible Touch

Acceptable pop intro, bobs along but not challenging in any way at all really.



Tonight, Tonight, Tonight

At almost 9 mins in lengh Genesis are back on familiar ground for track 2. An atmospheric and powerful story of a desparate herion addict trying to find his dealer, with an great instrumental section.



Land Of Confusion

A rock classic. Simple as. Great lyric by guitarist Mike Rutherford, pounding drums and great vocals from Phil Collins and of course, resonant keyboards and synths from the main man of Genesis music, Tony Banks.



In Too Deep

My least favourite Genesis song of all time, boring drum machine Phil Collins ballad that shouldn't be on a Genesis album, but it has mainstream appeal to less hardened Genesis fans.



Anything She Does

A great and bounchy pop song played with confidence. Tony Banks supplies the lyric which gives a quirky feel.



Domino

The big Tony Banks track on the album, this atmospheric and complex tale of lost love in the midst of nuclear holocaust is a compleing one. Part one 'In The Glow Of The Night' is the best, great synths.



Throwing It All Away

Fantastic romantic ballad, which avoids the sentimentallity of some of Phil's (lyrics by Mike Rutherford you see).A great song.



The Brazilian

What would be a Genesis album without an epic, abstract instrumental? A stunning and dense piece that ends a classic album.

HEY! A good song is a good song

Many people seem to be arguing that a songs quality is either bad or good depending on if it is prog or pop. I disagree. Although this is not one of my favourite Genesis albums, it is listenable.



About the point I was making before, I LOVE the title track. Just a great pop song with a very catchy hook. As with the album 'No jacket required', I find there to not be enough emphasis on melody and an overemphasis on a processed sound. I like this album more of the two. I also like 'Domino' and 'Anything she does'. Brazillian is a charming song. Most of the other songs are listenable, though I find the lyrics to 'Tongiht, tonight, tonight' quite depressing [it's directly about being depressed].

THE IDEA BEHIND MONEY WROTE THIS CD

They should have had the idea to write songs instead.



Give your money to the homeless instead. At least they deserve it.
