Format:Audio CD
What amazing music these guys produced.Can't get enough of it.My CD player only thinks Genesis exists.It may be an old CD but I play it endlessly as it is so good.They may not have released much lately,apart from remixes, but who cares with stuff this fine?

Format:Audio CD
This is a brilliant album by Genesis, easily equalling anything they have created.I have been a fan since their beginning buying everything 'tru the Gabriel and Hackett era's and up to the present.
This album has everything, the superb instrumentals, brilliant vocals by Phil and top class songwriting throughout.
Real highlights for me are the beautiful 'Duchess', the classic 'Turn It On Again' and the superb(if short) 'Guide Vocal'.Sandwiched in the middle of the album is one of Tony Banks best compositions, the gorgeous 'Heathaze'.But be assured there is really not a weak track here.The album ends with the dramatic and musically varied 'Dukes Travels' and 'Dukes End'....simply brilliant.Originally released in 1980 this is really one to savour.Yes I know the 'diehard' fans will sing the praises of 'Trick Of The Tail' and 'Wind And Wuthering' etc but this one is still the business.I also love their earlier work when they had the classic Gabriel and Hackett line-up but I also love this one.
Highly recommended!!!

Duke is a strong album, with 'Behind the Lines', 'Duchess', 'Turn it on' and 'Duke's Travels and End' the classic longer track. The album is upbeat and even the tracks not mentioned are still worth a listen, especially 'Cul de Sac' which is one of my favourite Genesis Tracks.

Overall 3 and a half stars... spoilt by some filler
'Duke' was released in March 1980 and marked the beginning of a more commercial period for Genesis. I am a big fan of Genesis both with Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, (their... Read more

Good album but I already know all the best songs on it
I know Genesis primarily through their excellent 3CD Best Of called The Platinum Collection. I have since heard Trespass, Foxtrot, A Trick of the Tail, Duke and We Can't Dance. Read more

Do you like Huey Lewis and the News ?
Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Read more

Nick Davis used to be a great engineer... what happened?
Nick Davis has done amazing work in the past. Actually, ALL of his work up until these Genesis remixes was excellent! Has he lost his touch? Read more

A mediocre album representative of their transitional period
Duke is an album produced during the transition from Genesis the archetypal stadium rock band, to Genesis the purveyor of 3-minute pop songs. Read more
