GENESIS

Great album! Still rooted in progland enough to not make me think too much about what star rating to give it. No bad songs here. The menacing "Mama", the catchy "That's All", the powerhouse "Home by the Sea/Second Home by the Sea", the funny (and with a complex chord change, people, listen carefully!) "Illegal Alien", the bittersweet "Taking it All too Hard", the great bassline in "Just a Job to Do", the quirky and energetic "Silver Rainbow" and the strange and hopeful "It's Gonna Get Better". Another great combination of pop and prog elements.

Avoid if you're a prog purist, obviously.
