Mediocre

Review Score: (4/10)
And Then There Were Three was the final album of Genesis' middle period (1976-1978) and first album without Steve Hackett. Steve was the final cog in the wheel of Genesis as a glorious prog rock band. With this album Genesis made an album with only 2 highlights Burning Rope and The Lady Lies and 3 ok songs Ballad Of Big, Deep In The Motherlode and Down And Out (a critical stab at Steve Hackett for his departure due to the more commercial and less creative sound cropping up in Genesis). The rest of the album is awful.
