| Wow there are actually two tracks on this one I like. I'll vote for The Brazilian as its the only track I've ever heard with those cheesey eighties electronic drums that I enjoy. Also the live version of Domino is much better than the studio version. |

| I think this is a very good pop album. I'm between the proggy "The Brazilian" or the poppy "Land of Confusion". I like "Tonight, tonight, tonight" quiet a bit too. I'll go with "Land of Confusion", because it will surely get less votes (by far) than "The Brazilian". |

Brazil, where hearts were entertaining june We stood beneath an amber moon And softly murmured someday soon We kissed and clung together Then, tomorrow was another day Morning found me miles away With still a million things to say Now, when twilight dims the sky above Recalling thrills of our love There's one thing I'm certain of Return I will to old brazil One of the best movies ever!

I enjoy this record regardless of whether you think it's prog/pop/hybrid etc. I'm going with The Brazilian mostly but the whole album is good to me -------------   MY IDOLS |

I don't hate it either, I just don't care for it. The Brazilian makes me think of getting all your pubes removed so I went with Land Of Confusion.

Of their 80's albums, I find this one doesn't stand up well now. The production is too tinny 80's for me. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

I happen to like this album. It is what it is. 1. Land of Confusion 2. The Brazilian 3. Domino 4. Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (despite the fact it was used in a Budweiser commercial) 5.

It's a trick question, there are in fact no good tracks on the album. Judging from the poll so far it has to be Invisible Touch which has no votes.  Land Of Confusion for me for the video. Perhaps Tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight because oh ho.... ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The album did not age too well, though I liked it when it came out. I think that, with the success of its predecessor, the band succumbed to a "formula" somehow instead of really progressing on. Don't mind "Pop", though, went for "Throwing it all away" cause it still can touch me. ------------- ...I'm a musician/singer/songwriter, visit me on www.reverbnation.com/rupertlenz and there you can choose from 125 recordings you can listen to ( for free ) if you're not limited to prog-rock ! |

Cool to see this topic return. If anyone's curious a http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70553" rel="nofollow - similar poll was set up a couple years ago, with different results than what is showing here. Difference is I made the "mistake" of separating the Domino tracks into two, as some were quick to point out. (I've closed reply options to keep it from being resurrected) |

I don't hate this album. It's just a little weak, and the production is awful. There's a few tracks I like though. Domino gets my vote. I think it's among their best 80's tracks. The live version is very good. I also quite like Land of Confusion and Tonight, tonight, tonight. I'm probably the only person who doesn't like The Brazilian. Sounds like a lazy attempt at a pseduo prog instrumental; a little token something for the old fans.. I remember listening to the Wembley concert on the radio, for that tour, and they played In the Cage, Unquiet Slumbers/In that Quiet Earth and Afterglow. All sounded fantastic, but they left all those old tracks off the live DVD..  ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I disagree with you Andy. I think this is their strongest and most consistent post Duke album and the production is excellent. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

It is 'technically' brilliant production. The clarity on all the individual instruments is near as damn it perfect, but for me ears it's cold and clinical. Overall it scrapes 3 stars for me these days. As I said I don't hate it, and I probably like it more now, than I did when it first came out. I prefer Abacab, Duke and Genesis, although I think it's arguably a stronger album than We Can't Dance. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Voted for Domino. Funny that people complain about this album being cold and clinical. That's exactly how I feel about Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson in general, yet he is seen as a genius. Could the unpopulairty of this album have anything to do with the mainstream success instead? ------------- Future prosperity lies in the way you heal the world with love (Introitus - The hand that feeds you) |

I liked it at the time and was happy that Genesis was seeing commercial success. It's just that the commercially successful stuff doesn't wear well over the years.

Sooo.... does that mean we shouldn't listen to, let's say, Tales from topographic oceans anymore because it was #1 in the album charts? No more Dark side of the moon?

Thank you, my fellow Genisonians. Domino's lead here just reaffirmed my faith in the good tastes of the Genesis brethren (just don't badmouth ABACAB in its entirety). ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

Actually, Domino just hasn't been able to do much for me. It may be the longest, and have certain prog elements, but in the end the song itself just doesn't do anything for me. The live version was indeed better, but still not enough. There are some songs I do like a lot on this album, but Domino isn't one of them. For a longer proggy song from 80's Genesis, I would have to go with "Home by the Sea / Second Home by the Sea", that one I do really love. |
