2 stars 2007 was not a great year for Genesis and record companies screamed for another album so this is it folks. Another compilation to coincide with the tour at the time. I believe it was sold at concerts but its a shame it has nothing new to offer apart from a remastered rendition of old singles and cuts every Genesis fan should already own. It includes the watered down Carpet Crawlers 1999 version too. Most of these songs have plagued compilations but with 2 CDs this time there's more to offer.

The best...

It includes some great tracks such as Duchess, my favourite, Turn It On Again, No Son Of Mine, Jesus He Knows Me, Follow You Follow Me, A Trick Of The Tail, Counting Out Time, I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) and Happy The Man. That's about the only tracks worth returning to.

The worst...

The Knife (3:17) is butchered down by half it's length and is a tragedy as a result. Congo, come on that's Genesis worse album and nothing from its any good, and then theres the ones that even my wife likes to sing such as I Can't Dance, Invisible Touch, and Illegal Alien.

So overall some assorted good stuff and a whole swag iof dross to wade through. Again it's a collectors piece showcasing just how far removed from greatness Genesis had become.
