The Brazilian. IMO, the album sounds very dated now and doesn't hold up well.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

INVISIBLE TOUCH by a wide margin. I don't enjoy the 'proggy' side of this album, I would rather choose some songs from Phil's solo career if there were here, "I cannot believe it's true" f.e.

"Land of Confusion", for me. It may not have any prog, but it's a wonderful pop song anyway. "Tonight, tonight, tonight" and "The Brazilian" are wonderful as well. I have never understood the love many people have with "Domino", though; it may be the proggiest on the album, but it just has about nothing that I enjoy (the live version is much better, though).

I'm in the minority that really likes this album. The long versions are not extended btw. They are the unedited versions, the full album tracks unlike what was / is issued. I like it for Phil's drumming but Do The Neurotic got my vote (makes a great album finale) very lyrical Rutherford is just fine on bass and guitar here.

P.S. Finding any Genesis I don't like is a tough job.... Wink

I just hate the drum machine overdose on the Invisible Touch. Otherwise, it's a pretty classy album.

But that's enough to turn me off the whole album. Domino is the only half decent track.

This would be last Genesis LP I would buy.  I kinda liked Land Of Confusion because it had a good video, but this album was the last straw, it's where I stopped keeping up with new releases by them.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The album has the charm of a tupperware box, and mostly sounds like it was recorded inside one.

I remember reading a glowing 5 star review for IT when it came out, in Kerrang! a UK heavy metal magazine. They were often criticised for bias towards certain bands. Rush, Hawkwind and Genesis could do no wrong in their eyes. Someone wrote in complaining when Status Quo split for the third time or whatever, asking why Kerrang had devoted seven pages to Rush just because they'd released an album, but only half a page obituary to Quo when they were splitting. I didn't mind. Love Rush, don't dig Quo, but I could see their point..
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Can't believe Land of Confusion is winning as it's one of the poppy songs on this album and I thought this was a prog site!Big smile  I mean I think Tonight is proggier even if it is also a little poppy.

Domino, though Tonight Tonight Tonight is good too.
I used to really like the album, but looking back on it now it seems rather poppy.
As Morrissey (The Smiths) once sang: "Oh, has the world changed or have I changed?" Well, I did, I suppose.
Land Of Confusion: like twosteves I can't believe that it is winning.
Feeding The Fire is quite nice. It should have been put on the album instead of "In Too Deep" or some other short low-prog track. Not that FDF is proggy, but at least it sounds a bit more "alive".

Tonight, tonight, tonight, I'm gonna make it right.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Domino

Feeding the Fire and Do the Neurotic are better than most songs on Invisible Touch. But then again, they chose to put Whodunnit instead of You Might Recall on Abacab, so...
