3 favorite post Hackett Genesis studio albums

What you mean is that you ceased to enjoy them after W & W, which is a totally different thing altogether, given that they proceeded to release a further seven studio albums, plus live and compilations, they clearly didn't "die", but actually resembled something relatively healthy, certainly judged upon sales.

In my opinion they died as a creative band to become a boring adult contemporary band. Surely they didn't died economically (by the contrary), but they died musically (in my opinion of course). Not pedantic, just honest. Iván

And I respect your opinion, because at least it is based upon musical knowledge & tastes rather than puerile misled hatred of Collins. I do, though, very much disagree with that opinion. I have had years of pleasure listening to the post Hackett material, and I regard some of it as constituting some of the finest progressive rock of all time. As a very quick example, I still, 30 years on, get goosebumps listening to Dukes Travels/End.

1. Duke - Honestly one of my favorites of any era.
2. ATTW3 - It gets slightly better every time. There's always a song I never liked, and suddenly I like it.
3. Invisible Touch - A very slight edge over Abacab. Mainly because it has fewer tracks.

"Many Too Many" is a gorgeous track. Have another listen

We Can't Dance (1991)     (Good tracks: Dreaming while you sleep, Tell Me Why, Living Forever, Hold On My Heart)(worst song: Never a time)

"Never A Time" is also a lovely little tune. Try again 

Okay, another listen of Many Too Many. It starts off pretty nice, but the sound is too drenched in the synth string sound. At the "Oh Mama" part I think it becomes too much, and when it goes up yet a notch at the "I thought I was lucky" -part, it's just too overdramatic and heavy with synth strings.

Just recently tried really hard to give it a go, but in the end: There is no good Genesis Record after Gabriel left, and so, there also can't be none after Hackettt left, of course.
Slightly off-topic, I know. Forgive me.

This. But what do I know? I stopped buying their albums after Duke, and I really don’t care about their hits.

Duke
And Then There Were 3
Abacab
