GENESIS

Man, if only side 1 had been released as an ep and side 2 burned in an incinerator, I'd be giving this four stars. Side 1 is just excellent. "Mama" is so addicting. It's simple but Phil's voice is just incredible and I love the drum part. It's like a better version of "In the Air Tonight" and I like "In the Air Tonight". "That's All" is a good song but my least favorite of side 1. If you get a chanc,e watch the Mama Tour video for Phil's antics at the end with Mike. "Home by the Sea" especially number two is the biggest reason for listening to this album. Mike's solo is really something. And Tony is just Tony. It's really a great song. I feel bad because it sounds like I'm condemning them like everyone else, but I can't get into side 2. I just don't like it.
