An intelligent album

Review Score: (10/10)
This is one of those albums that you really do need to listen to a few times before you really get to love it. That's one of the reason's that it wasn't a big hit when it was first released...a lot of people didn't find it very accessible, and the singles didn't get much airplay.

Phil Collins is one of those rare artists who have talent to spare! He wrote, produced and performed this entire album single-handed. Apart from the drum machine, everything was played live. The songs are for the most part, intelligent, the lyrics are thought provoking and deep. "We wait and we wonder" is about the threat of terrorism, The title song touches on social issues of homelessness, domestic violence and racism. This is a terrific album by one of the greatest singer/songwriters of the last three decades, and it deserves a listen.
