INVISIBLE TOUCH

I'm going to say that at this point I was really eager to use the later Genesis albums as frisbees or as coffee mug coasters. The intracacy of the band had long gone by this point and it was purely pop music for teenagers. How adult men with the past that the members of Genesis had could with all honesty release this music and call it music is beyond me - it is the stuff of airheads and teenage angst. Listening to the interview relating to this release from the band members I do pick up a defensive attitude. Genesis were chasing the mass market and that was certain. Can one really deride the members for chasing money? I would say no but with that being the recipe for Genesis they definitely lost me as a willing listener - and they lost me after the fantastic "Duke" album due to the drivel that they became happy with on later albums. Two stars because this isn't a bad pop music album but pop music isn't my thing and beat machines are even less of my thing.
