Invisible Touch, the infamous orange hand from whose clutches old Genesis fans wanted to escape, is the paradigm of what I mentioned earlier. The album, in short, has the charm of a 'guilty pleasure' record, which in its commercial inspiration is ultimately successful and also gritty.

Invisible Touch is a commercially successful yet artistically mediocre album from Genesis, heavily influenced by 80s pop trends. While it lacks the sophistication of earlier works like Duke, it offers catchy and enjoyable melodies such as "Tonight" and "Domino." The album is best appreciated as a fun, standalone pop record rather than a true Genesis masterpiece. Despite its flaws, the band’s musical skill remains evident, especially live. Discover the catchy hits and 80s vibe of Genesis' Invisible Touch—listen and decide if it's your next guilty pleasure!
It is an album rich in true sound magic, presenting a sound of astonishing fullness. A good dose of catchiness, combined with immediate yet highly appealing instrumental ideas, is far more striking than the many sterile indulgences of some prog groups.

The review praises The Alan Parsons Project's album The Turn of a Friendly Card for its rich sound and stylistic diversity. The album is highlighted for its blend of funky pop, disco-rock, jazzy interludes, and strong instrumental sections. Despite some tracks being viewed as cheesy, the album remains captivating and is considered the reviewer’s favorite from the group. It is appreciated more for its catchy and appealing music than strict prog rock standards. Listen to The Turn of a Friendly Card and experience the captivating sound magic of The Alan Parsons Project!
The album proves very interesting and above all decisively gritty and 'rock', as exciting as ever and with an excellent repertoire selection that proves fully up to the mark. Genesis demonstrates to be a phenomenal and highly inspiring live band: they remain charismatic and capable of greatly exciting the audience watching them or listening at home.

Genesis' 'The Way We Walk Volume 2: The Longs' live album impressively showcases their prog rock soul through extended suites and medleys. The performances are powerful, particularly Phil Collins' vocals and Banks' keyboard work. The album excels in revisiting the band's 80s and 90s material with fresh intensity. Unique live arrangements provide a compelling contrast to studio versions, reaffirming Genesis as a captivating live band. Dive into Genesis' powerful live performances and experience the prog rock classics like never before!
The instrumental tracks of the Project are, in my opinion, the real soul of the group. Anyone deciding to listen to this group for the first time might as well start with the instrumentals: it’s a safe bet.

Freudiana can be considered much more interesting than albums like Vulture Culture, excessively soft and at times sentimental. The sound is typical of the Project: captivating sounds that enchant the listener, catchy but well-crafted tracks, with very meticulous study of every detail.
