Best Genesis Trio album
Musically, the album is a masterpiece and would be acceptable to the casual listener. With Hackett gone, the creativity was getting spread a little too thin. It has a variety of colorful ballads: 'Ballad Of Big', 'Deep In The Motherlode', 'Little Nemo', 'The Lady Lies' but it just seems kinda empty and "plastically routined" with Collins singing by himself even with vocal overdubs. I give it a 4 for the effort, but a 3 for reputation from the previous albums. Two noteable presences of the album that are nothing lackluster are Banks's lush polyphonic synthesizer arrangements and Phil's drumming prowess.

If you're a 70's Genesis fan, it will most likely be your last album to recommend. It does makes a good album to start with if you're not willing to take quite a plunge into the art/progressive rock scene of their earlier material, but your curiosity drives you to hear their sound before their huge pop era.


ahhh memories!
Great quality no skips in plastic wrap. Havent had this album (?!) in decades. Love having it back again!!!
.


And 3 there was
Musical compositions of multi-layered complexities, that are just solid listeneing of high quality audio. Great album of recordings.


New furniture
But times get rough and all the stuff has to be sold, to be replaced by replicas. Imagine inheriting a beautiful old house in the county, full of antique, timeless furniture and art. Do't worry, the interior designer says. It will look genuine. But of course we'll have to use more current materials. ATTWT is the moment they started bringing in the new furniture. Well, eventually you get used to it (Duke). But not now.


A Keyboard Overload
But he was delagated to play Bass? The CD! I like Snowbound, Say It's Alright Joe, & Battle of Big. I saw the Trick & W&W tours, and I was suprised yet excited when Daryl Stermer was named as a touring player. The Lady Lies played out real good in the Live Setting, as well as Deep In The Motherload. Genesis turned a corner after Steve Hackett's departure, and there future music just didn't satisfy me like it did before. This was the last Genesis release I bought, until CAS was released. But, that's a story for another day.
