3 stars While this is a drasic move away from the gloriously submersive past this album isn't the disaster that many people would want you to believe. There are some quality songs on here, Abacab is a brilliant rock song, Keep It Dark is a real grower despite it's simplicity and Dodo/Lurker proves that despite having a more pop sound the band still maintained some eccentric creativity from the Gabriel era.

Unfortunately it has to be said that Whodunnit is definately THE worst song of all time, not only does it sound bad but it is gratingly repetitive and annoying after just one listen. You wont want to hear it again, it is a least ten times worse than Illegal Alien.

By no means their finest moment, this is not a bad album and is well worth a listen.
