The Last Of Really Unique Genesis Music

Review Score: (8/10)
An album released just prior to the Seconds Out tour, Wind & Wuthering has some very beautiful music within the fragile state the band seemed to be experiencing. Art rock was waning and the band was trying to hold on to its musical core. Much of their effort is successful, although purists will begin to notice Phil Collins slipping in and out of some very obviously POP style phrasing-- foreshadowing the artistic death of the band. After this one, there's nothing else to consider... regardless of how many records were sold.
