Not better than the original but wow, that is really good.  I don't know Haslam's work.  Something I need to check out.

For me it's between Dance and Entangled, but since I am a die-hard fan of volcano climbing, I have to do the Dance on a Volcano. I had that song playing outloud during the final attack on my 37th volcano climbed in my home country (Guatemala)

While I didn't vote for it I actually like "robbery, assault and battery" and can't understand why only one vote(or why so many seem to dislike it so much). That mellotron break on that track is really good and one of their best imo.

exactly...take away the outro and I guess Squonk might be my favorite.  But then part of why I like Squonk is the way it follows the outro in Entangled!

so true and Banks said he thought it was his favorite song on the album even though he wrote Mad Man Moon alone---Entangled is always the song I hear and think why can't Steve and Tony collaborate again?

Entangled over Mad Man Moon. I love the guitar lead in Ripples, but not too much the rest of the song. Los Endos needed to be longer.

Collins in 'mockney gangster' mode maybe?

Musically, RA&B is great, but Collin's comedy cockney performance is fairly embarrassing IMO, although I have heard Genesis do far worse when it comes to 'comedy' tracks. Illegal Alien springs to mind, which would probably register somewhere in my top 20 worst pop songs of all time.

I actually don't mind RA&B, and some of the instrumental parts are superb. I never skip it, put it that way.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I guess I never really paid that close attention to that part but it doesn't really bother me. He was trained in the theater as a kid so I suppose that part comes out every so often. I don't think it's something worth being offended by unless Phil Collins actually said somewhere "I don't like people with cockney accents."

You should check Renaissance. I do love them. Their sound is sort of folkis, I guess, with some very beautiful piano too (besides Annies singing, of course), and lot's or orchestrations. Very little or no electric guitars and synths, though (which is part of what makes them great, in my book). My first album from them, and the one I would recommend also, is Live at Carnegie Hall. It's got just my favourite songs on my favourite versions.

Would be funny if he did say that but probably not. Actually it doesn't bother me that much but just stops me from taking it that seriously even if the drums are great on it (but they are on most of the album)

Today I pick Squonk. Great rhythm and that fantastic melody kicking in at 1:45, it always moves me.
Most of these songs need to grow a pair though

That's why I tend to skip that track, musically good otherwise.

Have you seen the beautiful things that Ray Wilson (guy who briefly took over for Phil) has done with Entangled?

There's a poll lurking there, surely?.....................



BOT, yes, great album, not so keen on RA&B (why did Genesis somehow always seem to manage at least one poor track per album?), so maybe Squonk today....
