Customer Reviews Turned On Again While some feel like it was a real waste of time like Foreigner without Lou Grant as the lead, others like The Police returning fo the fiorst time in years, felt like it really was worth the ticket. When it came to great classic music from last year, there were a few delightful acts that reunited for the first time in years. That also can really be said as well with Genesis. For Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks, the trio returning again really proved to be well worth its while not just on stage, but their catalog got a whole new makeover, as their albums from the Mid 70's, all the way to 1997's final album Calling All Stations were re-issued in Dolby Digital sound, and feel better than ever. That also can be said in stone with a more-rounded greatest hits album as well. The 2007 Turn It On Again: The Hits (The Tour Edition), takes what was left from Genesis and their single disc 1999 edition of Turn It On Again, and expands it into a better hits album. Unlike their other hits record, the 2005 Platinum Collection, this one appeals mostly all the way through, by focusing in on the main tracks as hits, and not going into the lesser-known ones. The collection includes a lot of classics including all the original tracks that were released from the original Turn It On Again like their classic dance tunes like I Can't Dance and their only #1 smash Invisible Touch, to somber ballads like In Too Deep and Throwing It All Away, to innovative beats like the heart-pounding Mama and Land Of Confusion. The collection also works well by bringing in a lot of the hits that were overlooked from the previous hits collections, especially the tracks overlooked from the Platinum Collection like No Reply At All and Man On the Corner from Abacab, as well as classic gems like Illegal Alien and the somber Afterglow. Still, there is one disadvantage to this album, the collection does overshadow tracks from the Peter Gabriel era, when he was the lead of Genesis in the late 60's and 70's, as tracks like The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway weren't highlighted as well as other greats like Home By The Sea and Anything She Does, in favor of lesser-known singles like Tell Me Why from We Can't Dance. Overall, there really have been many different Genesis hits' collections. But when it comes down to it, Turn It On Again: The Hits (Tour Edition) is about as close as possible to being the most definitive reflection of what Genesis brought to the table in way of great pop music for nearly 5 decades, and taking what was a fair single disc collection from 1999, and expanding it so well to appeal to anyone who hasn't heard a Genesis album before. I absolutely recommend the 2007 Turn It On Again: The Hits (Tour Edition) as a must have for your MP3 library. Songs: B+ Price: A- Remastering: A Overall: B+. I Know What I Like.... It is a nice compilation of the songs that they did in concert although it is not a "live" version of the concert. After having just seen Genesis for the last World Tour, I couldn't resist buying this CD and I was not disappointed. But as far as I can remember, they did all these songs at the concert. . . So, if you want to have a good selection of Genesis hits (and some songs that never made it to the Top of the Charts. . . ) this two-disc collection is a good choice. You get a really nice selection of songs. . . well worth having in your collection of Genesis CD's. . . I know what I like. . . and I like this set!!!!. incomplete track hits incomprensible la omision de "taking all too hard" y en menor grado "never a time" que si estuvo en billboard charts. esperaba una edicion aun mas completa de los exitos de genesis. la version original de "carpet crawlers" tambien falto aqui. las revindicaciones al anterior grandes exitos son sin duda la inclusion de "paperlate" y de "tell me why", grandes ausentes de la edicion anterior. .
