CALLING ALL STATIONS

First of all..Boo..Boo.. to all the so called Genesis "experts" for knocking down everything they did since Jesus (Peter) Gabriel left. C'mon on, get a grip! They just could not keep on doing what they were doing. Let's face it, everything before ATOTT was good and inspired, but quite medieval, don't you think? You really do have to move on with the times.

Best thing that happened to them is that P.G. left. He's an OK singer but has more of a broadway musical type of voice (and I hate broadway music) rather than a good solid mystical prog voice like Phil Collins has. He just blows Gabriel away on his Seconds Out performance. And Gabriel would not have been able to carry them to such heights on arguably their best album ever...Wind And Wuthering.

Anyways, enough of that! As for 'Calling All Stations ' ...beautiful album, regardless of who created it. If you're like me, you don't bother to read long winded song by song tearing apart parts of reviews All I want to know is kind of what to expect and if it is good or not. The only thing I don't like about this record is the fading out at the end of most songs. The ending is fantastic. Truly a great swansong to a great career. I compare it to the legendary Beatles jam on side 2 of Abbey Road..They know it's the end and are just bringing it to hell and high water. So ya...get it.

P.S. I really do like the P.G. stuff, but also like everything else that they did. You can't call yourself a true Genesis fan if you don't respect all that they have offered us...so there...
