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. However, the album's second side is considered weaker with less memorable pop songs, likely influenced by the band members' focus on solo projects. 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!
