Release Me is on par with Abacab as one of the greatest albums ever recorded. It was only enviable that Abacab would be brought up. I was just using Abacab as example as an album people don't like for no logical reason. You were the one who blew it up into a full-blown conversation. It's not me, it's you.

I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.
Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock.

"Abacab is too poppy 'whaaa I need a whambulance', now let me go off and listen to some K Pop bands."

You like aggression, but not when Slayer does it. TH likes Pop, but not when Genesis does it.

In deference to this thread and those who hate Genesis, I think it's only fair that we move this discussion. So follow me, those of you who wish to continue/expand the conversation/debate/argument. This way! http://www.musicbanter.com/prog-psyc...on-thread.html

Check the above post; that's where we are now. And again, learn to logic. And read. I say you're borderline psychotic for claiming Abacab to be one of the best albums ever recorded, and I think most if not everyone here would agree with me. But come, join us in the Genesis thread and let's thrash this out: leave the Album Club to talk about the album they're supposed to be talking about.
