...AND THEN THERE WERE THREE...

Steve HACKETT left and GENESIS became a trio, the result was good but not as good as the previous records of the band. Most of the songs in "And then there were three" are short and without experimentation, it is clear that the band was (whether on purpose or not) approaching more and more to Pop music and getting every time further from Prog Rock. Even when there is still resemblance to some of the earlier albums of GENESIS (especially the ones without Peter GABRIEL), GENESIS was changing and evolving into something more catchy and less demanding. The album is not a total waste since it has some very good songs but in general, this record is not at all an indispensable record that someone SHOULD have in his collection.

SONG RATING: Down and out, 5 Undertow, 4 Ballad of big, 4 Snowbound, 3 Burning rope, 3 Deep in the Motherlode, 4 Many too many, 3 Scenes from a night's dream, 3 Say it's alright Joe, 3 The lady lies, 4 Follow you, follow me, 3

AVERAGE: 3.55

PERCENTAGE: 70.91
