I have been in a really bad mood today; it is one of those days where every task you set out to do somehow turns into five impossible ones. Of course, I had three sugar cookies to calm me down, but I thought music would be better able to calm my nerves. This is when my handy book comes in.
This is the last Genesis album in the book. Evidently, I was supposed to be saddened by that fact. Instead, I thought to myself "Have I listened to any Genesis albums yet?". Two, actually. Not exactly a lifelong bond.
Anyway, this is one of those concept albums that scare me. I have hated concept albums ever since I listened to Tommy many moons ago. Actually, I only knew it was a concept album because I read about it. I have no clue what the story was supposed to be.
This is actually not too bad. Sure, you get a little pretentiousness; I mean, it is prog rock after all. Still, some melodies were pretty catchy and Peter Gabriel has some great vocals. Check it out.
RATING: 3/5
