I too liked that album, it came out at a time when Diana had just been kiiled and I remeber it suited the mood of the country very well at the time.
However, it never seemed to really be Genesis, particularly the drums, Had Phil of played drums on the album I would have really loved it.

So who played drums before Collinsy? I must know!...or be told more like it.
Some dude called John Mayhew...
Im not ashamed to admit I prefer the Collins era songs on the whole, but that might have something to do with taking along time to buy my way backwards towards the Gabriel era.
The Lamb lies down on Broadway is a fantastic album, and Selling England by the Pound is probably my favourite Genesis album.
However there are songs from We Cant Dance, Invisible Touch, Duke, Trick of the Tail, and Wind and Wuthering which raise the Collins stuff above the Gabriel stuff for my taste.
Ive always prefered the latter day mix aswell - Hackett was an awesome guitarist, but I never liked his guitar sound - very low in the mix and strange.
Preferred the version of the solo from Firth of Fifth on "The Longs" part of the last live album - Daryl Stuermer (spl?) nailed it with a great sound.
Thats my Genesis rant anyway, would love to see them tour - was about 7 last time, so barely appreciated any music.

You're not alone buddy.

I prefer Peter Gabriel as a solo act over Phil Collins but my fav Genesis albums are "Trick of the Tail','Wind and Wuthering' and 'Selling England by the Pound'. As singers they're equal within Genesis.
They put on a good show when I saw them back in the Phil era 70s.
I'm just not a big fan of their 80s pop.
