Biography

The Genesis of the Seventies was a very different group from the Genesis of the Eighties and the Nineties - although not as different as some people would like to think.

Most of those who picked up on Genesis during the Eighties as their succession of hits encircled the globe had only the haziest idea of what had gone before. “In the later years there were people coming to our ... Read more in Amazon's Genesis Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Invisible Touch was by far Genesis's most commercially successful album to date, going six times platinum, and signalled the consolidation of Phil Collins's hold over the band's now slickly-modernised, though still potent, sound. The singles were even more successful than the album itself, with all five of them reaching the top five in the US--the first time that any band had achieved this. Stand-out tracks include "Tonight Tonight Tonight", "Land of Confusion" and "Anything She Does", with their intricate jungle rhythms and overflowing energy. Throughout, in fact, Collins's drumming is very inventive and energetic. Low points include the ballads "In Too Deep" and "Throwing It All Away", both examples of Collins dominating centre stage without using the talents of the other band members effectively. "Domino", a Tony Banks number, is the nearest material to old-style Genesis in structure, but incongruously features the most modern synthesised instrumentation and metronomic rhythms on the album, as if embarrassed by associations with the past. "The Brazilian", though, hearkens back to an old Genesis tradition by closing the album with an instrumental. --James Swift

I know it's fashionable not to like Genesis these days, but I refuse to bite my lip and say they are rubbish. They can be, and have been, but not here.

I think this album has a lot in common with Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms. They were both released at almost the same time, 1986 and 1985 respectively. Both bands had previously made albums which were critically accalimed - A Trick of the Tail (1976) for Genesis and Making Movies (1980) for Dire Straits, and both bands had achieved moderate commercial success too. However, these two albums marked the point at which both bands managed to fuse artistic brilliance with massive commercial success.

The title track, with its killer melody, is the perfect single. Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, with it's contemplative expansiveness is a philosophical and meditative masterpiece. In Too Deep is one of the 80s' most touching love songs. Throwing It All Away is a vicious and angry inditement to all the women that ever broke your heart. And those are just some of the highlights.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Popular, But A Weaker Effort
"Invisible Touch" is a difficult Genesis album for me to review. In many ways it seems like a parody of earlier Genesis work rather than a new album. Read more

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
