Genesis: Three Sides Live
Vinile I have it ★★★
You don't discuss live performances. They even manage to enhance the tracks from Abacab... the fourth studio side, leftovers from previous sessions, take away a star from the rating.
Genesis: We Can't Dance
Vinile I have it ★★★
It would have also been almost 4.... Absolutely forced double LP, a single would have sufficed, removing the usual nonsense reminiscent of the 80s, starting with the title track.

    The titular track (bad) isn't even the worst... I save the pop irony of "Jesus He Knows Me" along with those 3 good, more elaborate tracks. Let's say that 3 stars are just fine.

    Ah, also "No Son of Mine" as a lead/pop track is remarkable, somewhat like "Mama" was. But, well...

    I can't stand We can't dance (song), and I don't really see the pop irony in Jesus; it gives me more of a sense of pity...

    In reality, it's a quite focused critique against the media and TV gurus, albeit in its own small way, but to me it seems definitely less ridiculous than, for instance, "Illegal Alien," also known by the alternate title "Unmatched Filth" :D But hey, in the end, they’re just details; it doesn’t change much.

    One that really gets on my nerves and I can't even remember the title is the one dedicated to Eric Clapton and Lory del Santo's deceased son. Collins' dedication, being a good friend of Clapton, is surely sincere, but damn, did you really have to make that syrupy little song with no art, no substance, and no soul (and it's especially this last aspect that irritates me).

    It's a beautiful album, but it's strange that it was their best-selling album. I would prefer Selling England By The Pound and A Trick Of The Tail, but also Wind And Wuthering.

    Well, of course compared to Invisible, Abacab, Genesis, and Calling, it really stands out... but it's elsewhere that you need to look.

Crazy raw, technically not perfect, but absolutely true to the recording and of a rare power.

With a drummer who is just barely acceptable, it would be on the verge of a full 5.

5 essentially for the integral "the lamb" live. And who cares about Hackett's overdubs and Gabriel's re-recorded parts, the live is stunning!

    Interesting the backward journey. CD 3 (from The Lamb to Trespass) should have contained 45 tracks (I would leave out only More fool me, Aisle of plenty - even though directly connected to Cinema show - and a couple from The Lamb).

    It’s not interesting; it’s clearly intentional, like saying I from the past don’t give a damn, just listen to how beautiful we are and how cool we are!

    If you then consider that Genesis was a bit revisionist: "eh, that damn prog. Too easy. The real challenge is to condense our really cool stuff into 3-minute pieces, so That's All is better than Supper's Ready" ...but how could they say things like that?

    It's not an exact quote, but the concept expressed, especially by Banks, is that.

    Look, there’s one thing in particular that drives me crazy… they’ve repeatedly denied the prog period… and why? Was it such a pain to deal with Gabriel or Hackett, who instead continued to celebrate the Genesis era both on record and live… who knows?

a less traumatic swan song for them and their fans. Overall, a decent album and that’s the end of the story!

    I don't know, I always stop at 1976 with them and I'm good with that. Maybe I listened to it once, years ago.
Gentle Giant: Giant For A Day

we are towards the swan song...the band tries to renew itself to avoid being swept away by the times, the result is a decent album but well below the standards.

    Oh yes. If someone stopped listening to them after 1976 ("Interview" is still a good album), it wouldn’t be a big loss. However, their decline was short and dignified, at least.

And here we address each other formally... great album, perhaps my favorite, perhaps not, but definitely a strong 5.
