4 stars I think the last reviewed got it right. People miss the point of Abacab. It may not be pure prog, but it is almost entirely good. The pop songs are way better than others played on commercial radio. "No Reply At All" and "Man On The Corner" are good examples. The horn arrangements and intricate keyboard work on the former are simply brilliant. What about "Dodo/Lurker"? That's a signature Genesis song, like "Watcher Of The Skies". What about the innovative keyboard sounds in Abacab or the driving bass line in "Keep It Dark"? Can that be dismissed as mere pop? Not if you have ears.
