...AND THEN THERE WERE THREE...

On this album, the Genesis sound changed drastically. The reason is: no more Steve Hackett. The compositions are shorter and more direct but the songwriting is still solid. Rutherford is not Hackett but is solo on Burning Rope shows that he is a reliable guitarist. At all this album is not great but there is no bad song and I'm still very attached to this particular record because I started listen to it when I was 3 years old!! This album is the album of my youth and I will never forget songs like Down & Out, Burning Rope, The Lady Lies, Undertow and Deep in the Motherlode. The other songs are very good as well. An easy recommandation even without Hackett.
