Edited 3 months agoGreat pressing and that’s what matters to those listening to it. “Who Dunnit” on Side 2 is enough to make you pull your own hair out! Wtf were they smoking when they recorded this? UBER Annoying. Rest of the album is 75% good. -
Edited 3 years agoIt is almost hard to believe Genesis used to be an epic prog rock band until 1978. When they became a trio, they found their way over to pop rock which was a great fit for these guys. The next three albums were emblematic of the early '80s pop radio rock into which Phil Collins would solidify his superstar status as a solo act.
I always loved the title track for its rocking sound and big synths. Other highlights are the very danceable "No Reply at All", complete with horn stabs, and "Man on the Corner". There are definitely some duds on this record. The next two records get better.
This is my original copy, purchased in '81. The pressing is excellent and it sounds really great.
Three stars.
