...AND THEN THERE WERE THREE...

For some reason, this is one of the most underrated Genesis LP's. Ironically, it's also the one that finally brought them their long overdue superstardom in the US. There are MANY highlights here, including "The Lady Lies", "Burning Rope" (with its beautiful intro) and "Deep in the Motherlode". Yes, their big hit single closes out the album but doesn't really sound like anything else here. In a way, this is an end of an era for Genesis, their next LP would be much more commercial sounding....but that's not necessarily a negative thing.
