Genesis' album Abacab marks a decisive departure from their progressive rock roots toward a bold, original pop sound. While the album's innovation and experimentation are commendable, many tracks suffer from weak or monotonous compositions. The vocal style changes and abstract lyrics show the band's desire to challenge listeners, making the album a crucial, if divisive, moment in their history. Explore Genesis' Abacab to hear their courageous leap into pop and decide for yourself the impact of this essential evolution.

 "Mama" is the demonstration that Genesis can create highly emotional music even without resorting to complex compositions or technicalities.

 The impression is that the three musicians, once they pulled the two great initial ideas out of the hat, limited themselves to hastily completing the work.

The 1983 self-titled album by Genesis continues their pop transformation with standout tracks like "Mama" and "Home By The Sea." Phil Collins delivers an intense vocal performance especially on "Mama," which features dark, emotional lyrics and an 80s synth-driven sound.

Despite this, the album holds significant musical moments and remains notable in their discography. Explore Genesis’ 1983 album highlights and discover why 'Mama' remains an iconic 80s track—listen and judge for yourself!
