A better effort than the previous album to my view.

"Mama" - I love this track - it is a very powerful piece of music that speaks out against abortion to my mind.

"That's All" - very Beatle-esque pop track. This is just ok.

"Home by the Sea" - I like this track. It steers away from the simple pop music that Genesis had grown fond of by this time.

"Second Home by the Sea"- really an instumental (for the main part) musical follow on from the previous track. I do find the beat machine a little monotonous here.

"Illegal Alien" - Happy pop fare with a Jamaican kind of flavor.

"Taking it all too Hard" - Phil Collin's crooning. An innocuous number.

"Just a Job to Do" - the way Genesis was at this point in time to the main - rock / pop - nothing special.

"Silver Rainbow" - By this point in the album I was really quite tired of it - standard fare.

"It's gonna get Better" - I kind of hoped the title of the track referred to the music in future. Standard Collins with his backing band.

I loved "Mama" and I liked "Home by the Sea" on this album - the rest is essentially pop crooner territory. A 3 star album for me - better than the previous effort but nothing great or nearing great other than for "Mama".
