There are certainly a number of lighter tracks with leanings towards singles, but all in all, one of the better post Gabriel and Hackett era Genesis albums. While it has a fairly lightweight feel to it, the structure is slightly more complex than the pop songs Genesis had moved towards, with some excellent keyboard work around the choruses. The other track which I particularly enjoy is "Silver rainbow". While the track was commercial enough to become a major hit single for the band, it retains sufficient credibility to stand alongside other Genesis singles such as "I know what I like", and "Follow you follow me". The opening track, "Mama" has a menacing feel, a bit like a darker version Phil Collin's first solo track "In the air tonight". Nominally two separate tracks, the second part being "Second home by the sea", it is in reality a 10 minute track which ranks alongside the band's better known classics. "Home by the sea" ranks as one of their best, and most progressive tracks, with superb keyboards in particular from Tony Banks. With this album, Genesis pulled in the reins and reverted in part to the style their traditional fan base expected. Posted Friday, Febru| Review this album | Report (Review #10493) Progressive contents are around 15% (IMHO) but higher than any other 80's & 90's Genesis album past Duke. This album is also reffered to as "Shapes"can hold some interest to fans but they would have to be confirmed fans. Potentially the most irritant Genesis track ever is Illegal aliens and its horrendous MTV videoclip. The opening track and monster hit Mama however is completely unexpected and unlikely pleasant as is the short track That's All supposedly based on the Beatles's Rocky Rackoon.īut side 2 is just as bad as ABACAB so just one star for an average of two stars for the whole album. It is of course a bit cruel for them to remind us if it, since the other vinyl side is not anymore worthy than Invisible Touch or Abacrap. Side 1 gets three stars as the two Home By the Sea tracks do remind you of Duke and their earlier works, but do not get your hopes too high, it is only hinted at with lenghty instrumental passages.
