Genesis

And Then There Were Three

A Change in The Winds...if you will

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (10/10)
The end of the Beginning? Or the beginning of the End? Maybe a little of both. Being an AVID fan of earlier Genesis, one can truly ascertain that though it's not quite as 'proggish' as earlier efforts (try going back to 'Trespass'...pre-Phil Collins!), it's not remotely as poppy as 'Invisible Touch' & 'We Can't Dance'...but Follow You, Follow Me was a great ka-chinger, and a winding sign of things to come. There is some extraordinarily beautiful keyboard work here, lush & lavish with layered 9th & 13th chords that make one's heart soar...as Tony's magic touch usually does. Phil was probably 27 or 28 at the time, and still not 'well-sung' as of yet having only a few years to front the band vocally...he sounds better and better "...with each passing year", and this album is no exception. As I understand it, he was going through some rocky personal times with a strained marriage from months of touring...I duly commend his efforts (not to mention his no-less-than-amazing percussive endeavors). Mike...well, Mike is my guitar/bass/Taurus pedals mentor, me being a guitarist myself. You can hear here the style of instrumentation throughout the record that it was written by 3 guys on 3 main instruments; the guitarist using the bass pedals to cover the low end. It is a wonderful record, not to mention somewhat of a 'gutsy' songwriting approach that was new to band members and fans alike.

For anyone new to this band, it is a good pivotal point in the bands 30-year history...if you like what you hear, you would probably like much of their past and future efforts from this standpoint. There's a meticulous charm that's captured here never to be repeated again. Enjoy.......
