I approached this album with a lot of trepidation. As most others here, I love the old Genesis. I also loathe the pop version of this band. This album is the first album from the pop era.

Steve Hacket and his guitars has gone. Moog has gone. The synths sounds horrible. The horrible 1980s sound has replaced the nifty, exciting detailed music from the prog era. With the exception of Snowbound, Burning Rope and Deep In The Motherlode, most of the stuff here is commercial arena rock/pop. In my book, that is not a compliment.

There are some small interesting details of interest here, this being a socalled transition album between prog and pop. But rot has set in and the good times are over for good. Enter Marillion, IQ and the countless Genesis prog era copycats. This album is my cup of tea.
