Really the last good album, even with all the new-wave textures, most of what's here is very good music.

The title track and "Dodo/Lurker" are definitely prog, but not at all the variety that Genesis fans are used to hearing. The closest we come to that are "Me and Sarah Jane" and "Like It Or Not", both excellent songs. "No Reply at All" and "Man on the Corner" could easily be confused with Collins' solo work, but as far as poppier tracks go their not half bad (you can shoot me later). The rest of the record feels like filler to me.

BE WARNED, this is WORLDS better than the rest of Genesis' 80's output, but fans of their 70's work should stick with Foxtrot, Selling England, or maybe Lamb Lies Down.
