5 stars Duke:( Not considered as a prog. But a WONDERFUL pop-"prog" album from Genesis) The greatest album from Phil Collins-era (even better than trick or W&W). This albums has so many great songs, oh I think every one is except 'Guide Vocal' is slightly misplaced, cause the album starts with something awesome as 'Behing the lines', which always gives me cold ripples, because of the Synth-solo and it is absolutely beautifully sang song. Followed by 'Duchess' which is so beautiful i could almost cry.' Man of our times', again wonderful piece of music, played and sang aaaah. 'Misunderstanding', the "hit" of this album, the simpliest song here but it is great, you can't deny. Then I have to skip some songs here, so 'Cul-De-Sac', again those beautiful synths does it, you can listen it to again and again! and then the end with 'Duke's Travel's' and 'Duke's end" which are kinda taken from SELLING ENGLAND, cause Duke's end is instrumental (like cinema show mostly) and Duke's end has the same synths than in 'Behind the lines' (compare to Aisle of plenty/Dancing with the moonlit knight). If you even like a little popish prog with beautiful synths, i recommend!
