Moretto

Um, obviously the rating I gave the album is 5/5 and not 0/5. I must have typed it incorrectly. I apologize.

Unfortunately, I listened to Calling All Stations and even bought it, as I wanted to complete my collection of all Genesis records and not miss what ultimately turned out to be their last work. Aside from this and We Can't Dance (the '90s), we could debate for 10 years about Genesis's products from the '80s, and no one will convince me otherwise that those albums are shallow and filled with carelessness. This doesn’t mean that Genesis should have kept rehashing Supper's Ready or Selling England by the Pound. Change is natural, and when it isn't, it's even desirable. Duke, in my opinion, while different from previous productions, is an excellent album with new sounds and free from the hybrid nature of And Then There Were Three. Unfortunately, it remained an isolated case. Abacab, aside from the intriguing title track, is an easily forgettable album. Invisible Touch, on the other hand, is simply a collection of songs that are very similar to each other, starting from the arrangements. Obviously, these are my personal judgments, which don't claim to be universally accepted. Every opinion is completely valid. But to say that not appreciating Calling All Stations means not having listened to it seems a bit exaggerated to me.

Unfortunately, I can't find this record for sale. I tried in two large stores in Rome, and in both cases, they don't even know what it is.

Ach... I just now realize that the rating I gave to the album is 5/5... my apologies, I must have typed it wrong. I meant 3/5.

Attention, I don't mean to say that Sea Change was conceived in a mournful context!!! Sea Change starts from a great disappointment in love, a very painful one, by the artist's own sincere admission, but it's obvious that the musicians weren't crying while they played, even less so Beck. There might be a bit of gossip, but it’s undeniable that the album reflects this desire for reflection, intimacy, I would dare say introspection, born from lived experience.

It's sad to see the biggest band of the '80s churn out albums like this. You are absolutely right INNUENDO84, I too wonder what drives Bono, the Edge, and company to persist in their singles with the same old boring tunes!!!

I admit that I struggled to get through it. I’m referring to the review, certainly not to the album. Nevertheless, despite my difficulty in reading this review, I appreciated the act of love that the reviewer wanted to give to a talent like Jeff Buckley. Of course, calling a store clerk (even just in intention) who didn’t know the singer a whore seemed a bit excessive to me and, even though I’m a jester, not very witty either.
