|F| As dreadful as the year of release might suggest.

There really isn't much to be said for this album. I'm among those who love their early work, and by chance stumbled across this album and found absolutely nothing worth noting. If you think eighties Genesis is pop rubbish, you just might be surprised how far they could've gone with writing forgettable dribble. This album makes Invisible Touch sound like a progressive masterpiece with memorable and timeless composition. No joke. Take out everything that was likable about APP's early work and this is basically what you're left with. All progressive tendencies or creativity or inspiration or even "pop enthusiasm" is gone.

Apparently these are leftovers from the previous album Ammonia Avenue, which was supposed to have this as a second LP. Sorry guys, but these songs aren't the kind of leftovers you keep for later.
