Genesis thread

[Heresson]

It's because of You, Americans, that Genesis remained in hiatus for last 10 years

[Brundlefly]

Well, Calling All Stations sucked. America let them know that. After Collins left, they should have moved in a bold new direction with their music, but they chose to stick with a boring pop-oriented Collins music formula which no one was interested in hearing from them anymore.

[Heresson]

Calling All Stations didn't suck. It had many faults (poppy sometimes, but not as much as previous albums; some fillers, like Small Talk, but a couple of great songs, like Uncertain Weather of The Dividing Line; what was very weak was that every song but The Dividing Line ended in quieting done... some sounds, as in There Must Be Another Way, were kind of 80s and cheesy. But there were nice melodies, and nice musicianship sometimes.

Lord Shiva, what's your opinion on Genesis?

I lost all interest in Genesis after Steve Hackett left. I admit, they did a couple of catchy pop songs after that, but I don't like them enough to buy one of their post-Hackett albums.

[Heresson]

Did You listen to songs like The Lady Lies, Snowbound, Duchess, Heathaze, It's Gonna Get Better etc? Post-Hackett Genesis is not only pop

[Straybow]

I never bought one, but a friend had ABACAB. Otherwise I only know Genesis from the radio.

I heard news that the band are going to change their name to Intelligent Design
