INVISIBLE TOUCH

First off, if you can mark THE END of Genesis it is this album. Look hard, but you won't find any good lyrics here. "I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey..." Could someone please expalin what he's talking about? The progressive elements are apparent in this album, but consist of annoying twans clanks, and basically any annoying noise they could conjure. The funny hting is that if they steer away from the prog elements the music improves.

Collins' voice is no better than in the previous albums beginning at Duke, where he seems to scream far too often, to get a cheap emotional feel. Any atmosphere created by Bank's keyboard seems ot be killed off. an unfortuante end to a legacy, but that is what it is. Perhaps not a terrible 80's rock album, but in comparison to Brilliant albums, such as "Foxtrot", this is worthless. The trick to getting enjoyment out of this, is the same as with "Genesis", Abacab, and Duke. Pretend it is another (non Prog) band.

As a rock album from the dark ages of music, it scores some points, but as a prog album by one of the timeless giants of prog this album is nothing but an embarrasment.
