GENESIS

By this stage Genesis had really let the pop-rock influence take over the sound. Still a good album, however, not a lot to satisfy the listening requirements of the hardened Prog fan. Mama still seems as powerful as when I first heard it pre-release on the old Friday Rock Show with Tommy Vance. It is an excellent track, as is the Home By the Sea duology,which is probably the most Proggy track on the album. Phil Collins drumming is as good on this track as ever it was. Good album but not essential.
