ABACAB

In comparison to most of the Genesis catalogue this is not the best album, but it's fair. The highlights include the title track, "Dodo" (interesting & usual sounding) "Me and Sarah Jane" (various mood/tempo changes - from pumping Reggae to slow and spaced out) "Keep it dark" (OK it's monotanous but it grows on you) and "Like it or not". Weaker tracks being "Who Dunnit?" and "Another Record" which I'm sure were just fillers. It makes you wonder why they didn't use any tracks from the 3X3 ep as they were much better. This was the album that cemented the fact that Genesis were never going to be the same band that they were before, but it does'nt mean they had forsaken prog. I don't think this sounds typically of it's time, therefore wouldn't say it's commercial. However if you are a die hard prog fan living in the Fragile, Foxtrot, Tarkus, Aqualung days, then this is not the album for you. If you can accept that bands move with the times and still do a good job years later, then you will appreciate this album. I give it 3 stars.
