This album really rocks

Review Score: (10/10)
This album typifies Genesis' command of pop, rock, and soul sensibilities combined together to make a really cool album. Abacab was our first introduction to the "Phoenix Horns", and their input to No Reply At All make it the standout track. However, I really liked Man On The Corner, Another Record, and the title track (with its 3 1/2 minute ending instrumental). It's amazing the quantity and quality of music that Genesis was putting out in the early 80's.
