"This is a dark, brutally heavy, and mind-numbingly complex disc"

 

According to a reviewer called 'Shane,' this describes Genesis' flaccid 'Calling All Stations."  Yes, when I hear Congo, the complexity literally numbs my brain.  And the brutality of its heaviness crushes me.

Now wait just a darn minute!  Taste is subjective, ain't it?  Continuing that thread, aren't opinions too?

Refferring to Calling All Stations as "brutally dark" is about as appropriate a reaction as laughing hysterically at a burn victim.  Sure, it's in the eye of the beholder, but some people's eyes (or ears) obviously aren't screwed on right.  On the complexity issue, this is a purely objective call -- and CAS just isn't very musically complex.  In short, the comment was ridiculous.

Well, like it or not, that's what I think.

Note that I said nothing about the 5-star grade.  As unholy an opinion as it may be, it is just an opinion and not for me to argue.  But the description of the music is flatly inaccurate.

Actually, it's not clear at all.  What is the apple and what is the orange?

What we need is awareness we cant get careless
Mental self defensive fitness

What I meant by that was the fact that people like to compare different eras of Genesis...with Gabriel, without him, the Collins-led 4 piece, down to the trio, etc.  Why compare?

I don't know -- because it's the same band?

At any rate, this statement supposes that the reason people tend to hate CAS is because Genesis chose not to remake SEBTP.  I think most people rate it poorly because they're simply bored stiff by it.  There are a lot of people who like trio Genesis (myself included) who dislike CAS, and the fact that it isn't "prog" enough has nothing to do with it.  If anything, CAS is an attempt to be more prog than their most recent albums.

I didn't think they were the same after Gabriel jumped ship.  Nor did I think they were the same after Hackett, or Collins (saints preserve us...) left.  Why should they re-make SEBTP?  What purpose would it serve?
