1 stars When I was young (what seems to be centuries ago) I fed my taste for good music with what Genesis put on record. Those were (and still are) their first LP's up until 'Wind and...' in 1977 and a taste of their next 'And then there...'

As I wrote in an earlier review: after 1978 the genuine soul of what Genesis really was died. It was that magical band that inspired me to actually LISTEN to music and learn to UNDERSTAND it. Later, it was Progarchives that gave (and still gives) me a change to explore other bands that bring the same feeling upon me. Thank you, guys.

But... I wanted to know what all the fuzz about 'Invisible Touch' really was. I tried to LISTEN but I did not manage to UNDERSTAND. This is no longer the Genesis-band I still am eager to listen to. This is something else, something not even worth being labeled as GOOD music. This has nothing to do (anymore) with what the great band produced in the beginning of their existence. I was very (extremely) disappointed. Basically amusement-song without FEELING. Radio-tunes, music that is only worth to be heard (not listened to... only 'heard') in supermarkets and elevators.

I'm rude, I know, I am not capable of reading one note of music myself and I dare to write things as above... shouldn't I be ashamed? Maybe... but it is the huge disappointment that drives me to express my true feelings. Listening to 'Invisible Touch' brings upon me a feeling as they (The Early-True Genesis Members) have abandoned me. A child that is abandoned, feels fear. I'm older, I'm feeling anger. That angry feeling makes my react. It's pure nature. If it was possible to give no star, I would do it. So... back to when it all started. Back to the good old seventies. Back to the period when they were great.
