...AND THEN THERE WERE THREE...

I have to admit that I'm a very big Genesis fan and that in the prog scheme they are (were?) my favourite band of all times. But to me this album is their worst. I would not blame the departure of Hackett for that - while I consider "Duke" and "Abacab" much higher in rank I can't find the prog here. When I was young, "Follow you, follow me" was I song I knew from the start, but after listening to what they really can perform, ATTWT is step in wrong direction and perhaps laid the foundation to the mixed feelings aroused by listening to the more pop oriented sounds of the later albums. Although I'm stil able to see some benefit in the 80's albums - ATTWT is no good. Even "Burning Rope" is not good enough...and there a lot of fillers. The points I give are for nostalgic reasons - and that is emotional, but of course this is also something music is about. Most Interesting Song: "Many too many"...but it won't save it!
