Honestly, what an inspiration you are with your talent and music. Carrying my childhood with your music, and soundtracks, too carrying me throughout the year and years, thank you for everything, and may the New year truly be a bigger year for us all. Thanks the legendary Collins.

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.

Phil Collins solo career, seems to be more commercial, and therefore more satisfying in a narrower way, especially songs like, "In The Air Tonight" and, uh, "Against All Odds" but I also think, Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and i stress the word, artist .. this is "Sussudio", a great, great song, a personal favorite ..

Apparently disliking this album makes you cool? I was never one to try to be cool, I suppose.

I used to love this album when i was 8. After listening to 70's genesis for years, it's not an easy job getting through this album nowadays There are still some nice moments though. Land of Confusion is still a fun track. Domino and The Brazillian are the only tracks that i really enjoy.

3 out of 8 songs which last a total of about 25 of the album's 45 minute length. Good or not it's more prog than pop

I think it's one of the worst albums I have ever heard. Five top 5 singles, that's really lame and depressing. I mean, all of the singles are terrible and cheesy so I want to puke. Obviously, I'll refrain from labeling this as "progressive rock". I mean, the only bones thrown to prog fans are "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", the pointless "Domino" and "The Brazilian". 3 half-assed attempts out of 8 does not make an album progressive rock, especially since said album is made for cash by three remaining members of a former five-piece prog band.

Made for cash? Phil Collins likes pop music, though. He didn't put together a whole album of motown for the money.

I think it's a pretty strong album. I mean, five top 5 singles, that's pretty awesome. I mean, all of the singles are catchy and a great listen, so I have no complaints. However, I'll refrain from labeling this as "progressive rock". I mean, the only prog songs are "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", the epic "Domino" and "The Brazilian". 3 out of 8 does not make an album progressive rock, even if said album is by a prog band.

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. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. [3]

It may not be the worst Genesis album ever (that honour goes to Calling All Stations) but it is the worst produced. Drum machines can be used well (ie Duchess on Duke) but this whole album has a very unpleasant watery sound that ruins even the best songs (Domino, mainly). Of course most of it are mediocre. It's not bad that it's pop, but it's generic and cheesy '80s pop. The title track sounds like every '80s pop song you forgot about years ago, and for good reason. It was dated before it was released.

Abacab was their artistic apex, going downhill when Collins got a taste of money and fame. I recall an interview where he was asked about Genesis and he said, "Genesis, Genesis. What am I going to do about Genesis?" Like it was a bothersome fly he couldn't seem to smash. He ruined Genesis after Abacab and Invisible Touch is a successful attempt to build on money and fame generated by No Jacket Required. That said, there are some listenable songs on this album. If you listened to the radio at all or watched MTV, you couldn't get away from the title track and to this day I can hardly stand to listen to it. But I would not call Genesis a prog rock band at this point. It's pop rock.

Quite honestly this album killed my interest in progressive rock for 20 years.
