Totally different band than the polished, sterile, compressed, and popular Phil Collins era. (But then again, Peter Gabriel essentially did the same thing by putting on a bespoke suit and going corporate after 1983).
This shit is OUT THERE MAN! Like out in SPACE! 
If you played this shit to 99 out of 100 people that bought Invisible Touch when it came out, they would had no clue what the fuck they were listening to was the same band. Today, that number would be even lower. If that is even possible.

What kind of people listened to Genesis in the 70's?
I don't quite understand where they fit in back then. I get where they fit in during the 80's and 90's and Peter Gabriel as well. But this 70's stuff is so far out there, I don't get it. Were they popular back in the 70s? or did they just take off in the 80's after alienating a core Prog-rock dope smoker crowd? I mean thats what Jefferson Airplane and Shitwood Mac did, but Genesis seems to have done this with their credibility intact. |

Quoted: Did you see who is playing the drums?  Quoted: Quoted: Awesome stuff. Heavy as hell for the time. I was a huge fan for many years. Peter Gabriel Genesis is best Genesis, and it's not even close. Did you see who is playing the drums? Um, yeah. For all of his faults and poor decisions later in life Phil Collins was a hell of a drummer in his day. |

Genesis was once a great progressive rock band.
It was still progressive after Gabriel left. 2 more progressive albums, Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering. Then Hackett left, and Genesis began its slow slide into becoming a pop band. Under Collins, Genesis became one of the world's best pop bands. But in the end it was only pop rock, and there were and still are a lot of other pop bands. |
