Very bad

Review Score: (2/10)
Phils reliance on the drum mashine after the Genesis album And Then There Were Three weakened his ability as a drummer thereafter. Here he plays very simplistically. Phil found himself in his career linked with Peter Gabriel successfully but Gabriel wins hands down as a good artist with his expressive voice and as a top notch multitalented musician and diverse songwriter. Phil struggles with his words when he sings, plays little besides drums and not particularly well and writes simple compositions making his music passable.
