Some great reviews here and I think the question over the Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins as vocalists is actually a good debate anyway. I'm getting the overall feeling that apart from myself, not too many of you see much difference between the two quality wise.

Also Neopolitan's score would be a 3.5 on our matrix.

hey US if I was include in that compliment, thanks!

It was my first review here. I scanned around the thread to see if it was on a scale from 0 to 5 or 1 to5 or 1 to 10. I didn't know so I used the 10/10 scale just to avoid decimals in fractions. I did go back and edited to be compliant to your matrix.

I like Phil's vocals on the post-Gabriel era material. It seems natural to hear Phil's voice on songs he recorded. Peter Gabriel haunts the songs Phil sings from the Gabriel-era, and I think for people who know the two eras, in the back of thier mind they are comparing the two - I know I sometimes do. Peter Gabriel had a post-modern/existentialist stage presence. Phil Collins had his own comedy schtick. I heard he would do Steve Martin impersonations and stick the tambourine down his pants for yucks. But Peter was also known for a bit of humour of his own. Like showing up in his wife's red dress wearing a fox head mask without the bands prior knowledge or democratic consent.

I'd say this was a very good round-up of the two vocalists and it does seem that comedy was a key element of the band, which is no surprise given the humour that was associated with a lot of prog bands from that era.

Guys, apologies for the lack of a selection for this week but as detailed in the Journals Update thread I've had a hell of a week-and-a-bit.

Do you want me to grab one now, or just wait till Sunday? Who else has to review "Seconds out?" It would be two days lost on the review time but if you want me to rack up the next one I'll go ahead. If you'd rather wait, I'm easy with that too.

Also, welcome Mister Anderson to our humble club. Nobody can tell you what the PRAC is, you have to see it for yourself ... oh wait.

Great reviews too guys. As I said in mine, I wasn't so much comparing Gabriel to Collins because at the time SO was the first Genesis album I ever heard, so that version of SR has always stuck with me as being the definitive.
I must say, the version of "Watcher of the skies" on "Three sides live" is pretty damn good too, though 3SL suffers from too much material from "Abacab".... okay I'm going now...

We guessed it was something to do with your sister and once again all the best to her and and it's certainly important that you stay fit as well.

Just get around to putting the next album up when you can. I suggest either doing it like now though or waiting until next Monday I think DJ is the only review left to come in, but our old china Nepo seems to have come on as sub for him

Yeah I may have some time to get around to it tomorrow or Thursday. Been pretty busy this past weekend and Monday.

Ah well, someone convince me. I'll give it a listen...

Never really liked ELP that much but that is actually a great album and looking forward to hearing it again.
