FINALLY!
After a string of bad albums, we have an actual good one. I was so relieved when the first track came on that I almost felt like kissing the ground. Then I realized how ridiculous that is and got a hold of myself. But I was still relieved!
Anyway, what else would you expect from a band with Phil Collins? Everyone likes Phil Collins.
So this album was really catchy albeit a little too long. Still, it was a nice change of pace.
RATING: 4/5
Actually, a lot of people hate Phil Collins. Prog rock fans hate him for taking over Gabriel's role as vocalist in Genesis as they gradually progressed (ha!) to a pop band from their proggy origins.
ReplyDeleteAnd then a lot of other people hate him for his solo work, too.
He was the emblem of vapid music in Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho--well, one of. Poor Huey Lewis also got the shaft there.
Haha yes when I made that comment, I didn't actually think that every person on earth enjoyed Phil Collins. But that is interesting about Gabriel and Huey Lewis. Thanks for commenting.
