3 stars Good aspects to this:

1) Lots of music/videos (32 total) spread across two DVD's 2) Quite a bit of variety as far as Collins-era songs go 3) Decent packaging

Bad aspects to this:

1) Essentially no Gabriel-era material, unless you count the redone "Carpet Crawlers" (I don't) 2) Barely any prog. material here. It is basically limited to several songs from Trick of the Tail and And Then There Were Three, and the song Second Home By the Sea 3) Poppiness and lameness of some 80's material really gets offensive when placed under the "Genesis" band name. I mean, can we really say songs like "Illegal Alien" and "In Too Deep" are really by the same band that produced "Watcher of the Skies" and "Return of the Giant Hogweed"??

Although it's great to have all the videos collected in one place, it would have been better to have gathered up Gabriel-era material and put that on one DVD, and edited the better Collins-era songs to put on the other DVD.
