DUKE

"Duke" is the arrival of the "new" sound of Genesis, and it's really, really good. From the opening of this album, you get the sense that it's going to be a fun ride, and it makes good on that feeling. First of all, the entire album flows together flawlessly, and each track has a similar feel and sound to it. I don't know if I would go so far as to call this a concept album, but in my own mind it's pretty close. All the songs deal with a meloncholy aspects of the world, and how we deal with them. I really don't know how to get further into detail, I just know that this album really grabs me when I listen to it, so therefore it's one of my favorite albums right up there with Nirvana's "In Utero".
