 Topic: The Last Great Genesis Album
Posted: January 31 2014 at 15:37 |
Same as the last poll, but which of these is the last great Genesis album in your opinion?
Mine personally is Duke. Always loved it, and just about gets a 5-star rating from me  (the only Post-Gabriel album to get one).
As always, thanks for any feedback  |

Woops I meant to put ABACAB oh well. I think Genesis is pretty good but a lackluster B side keeping it from being great.

I don't think Genesis ever did an album named Baby Duck and Baby Lamb in a Warm Embrace

A Trick...
(though W&W and Duke are worthy albums in their own right)

...And Then There Were Three...
It seems like after this album Genesis left their classic-era melodism, so it was the last their LP I found enjoyable. Since 'Duke' they took a completely different approach and it sounds plainly boring to me.

Duke, though I doubted about Abacab. I like Abacab, but maybe "great" is too big a word.

I would almost go with this, as s/t is solid, but I'm a bit pickier and will say it's the last good album. Invisible Touch is ok with good moments.
The last great one is A Trick of the Tail.
