3 stars I limit myself to three stars to not piss off the ones who are bitter about Genesis shifting to pop rock in the 80's;

If it were of me i would actually give four. It's not their best album but to those prog-rock- nostalgics i've got one thing to say: Has ANYONE... but ANYONE of you one starrers listened to the whole CD? "Me and Sarah Jane" fits on the old stuff bigtime. No pop in that... all prog. Shows that they always kept a little in touch with their roots.

"Another Record" also goes a little into the old prog rock sound of Genesis... with a foot and a half into pop. Don't hate it.

With Duke being my favorite album, the song "Luker" sort of brings me back into "Behind the Lines" and "Duke's Travels"... I love it.

Plus, "Who Dunnit?" makes me piss my pants. I constantly imagine the whole band going "Who dunnit?!! who wrote this piece of trash?! Oh well... Nevermind... ready guys? 1, 2, 3, 4... "
