3 stars This album gets dumped on a lot, but actually, I really like this album and consider it a great comeback after the dismal Abacab. Sure, it is not in the same league as the 'classics', but overall is still a solid album. Great sound throughout and a return to a more suitable and familiar Genesis style, mixing pop and rock with progressive flourishes throughout. The standout tracks include the 'Home by the Sea'-'Second Home' combo, 'Silver Rainbow', and 'It's Gonna Get Better' (all proudly showing at least some remnants of their prog elements). And the singles are mostly good, with 'That's All' a wonderfully fun pop ditty and 'Taking it All Too Hard' a beautiful love ballad. Only the regrettable 'Illegal Alien' and the irritatingly creepy 'Mama' keep this from being a really great album. Still a darn good one.
