5 stars I can't understand so much negative noise about it! 1) as for me, i'm also a 'prog-encyclopedia', etc; and i like gabriel's period more than collins's one. And i like all the progressive arena of the 70-s (incl. Classical names, all these close to edges', canterbury, rio, free-jazz, and so on, and so on) much more than the 80-s - with their punk/new wave phase, etc.

But speaking about 'abacab" release - what's wrong with it? Very fresh sound, tasty material (to be compared to 'duke', for instance) - and nothing in common with all the rest groups of the time. Forget about gabriel, forget about 20-min epics by 'yes-crimson-vdgg- zappa..." - it's 1981!!! And it's really interesting, crazy and fresh!!! And no cliches here!

I put 5 stars:)
