Phil Collins

But Seriously

...Seriously BORING

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (4/10)
After the absolutely top-notch "No Jacket Required", it was inevitable that Phil Collins' follow-up would be a letdown. And it's not that "...But Seriously" is a bad album, just BORING. The word of the day here is "ballads". Songs vary from moody ballads ("That's Just The Way It Is", "Another Day In Paradise"), standard fare heartfelt ballads ("Do You Remember?", "I Wish It Would Rain Down", "Father To Son"), slow groove ballads that transition to slightly-heavy ballads ("All Of My Life") and ambitious epic ballads ("Colours"). Elsewhere you find more upbeat, jazz-or-latin influenced numbers ("Heat On The Street", "Saturday Night And Sunday Morning", "Find A Way To My Heart"). All are BORING.

A couple of the more rocking tunes, "Hang In Long Enough"and "Something Happened On The Way To Heaven" save this album from being a complete yawner, but both are cut from the same cloth as the far superior "Sussudio" from "No Jacket Required". All of tunes here are admirable compositions and performances, and if you're a diehard PC fan, this'll scratch your itch. If your tastes lean more toward his work with Genesis or rock music with a bit more of an edge, this album is just plain flat out BORING.
