GENESIS

Although I don't really like Duke and hate Abacab, I really love this 1983 album, sometimes known as 'Mama'. A lot of great, great songs here. For example, the entirety of the first side is absolutely wonderful : Mama is dark, somewhat terrifying (Phil Collins' demonic laughs, ah-aaaaah ! ah-aaaaah ! aaaaah...)...That's All, very jazzy, nice piano lines...Home By The Sea, great !...the follower, Second Home By The Sea, greater ! Yet, there are a couple of fillers on the side B. I don't like Takin' It All Too Hard, which is too mellow. Too poppy. And the last song, It's Gonna Get Better, is pretty, but not as consistent as the others. Anyway, there is Just A Job To Do, Silver Rainbow and, in a certain way, Illegal Alien (poppy, funny, but not a great song, not Genesis's best single) which are good ones. My favorite Genesis album from their 80's era.
