![]() When compared to the mindless drivel of the title song and the horrid “In Too Deep,” “Land of Confusion” sounds fucking amazing.īefore I get into the mistakes, I have to say that “Domino” is a good epic. The lyrics are still relevant even today. The synths and the “oh oh oh” parts that Collins does are a bit too much. “Land of Confusion” was a massive hit, much of which could be attributed to the funny video. I think that fits the subject matter too. I like that it is a very cold sounding song that moves slowly. “Tonight Tonight Tonight” has always been a favorite of mine because it has incredible atmosphere and intelligent lyrics about drug addiction. The reason is that “Invisible Touch” does have some good music on it. Their next album “We Can’t Dance” earns that title. Unfortunately, Genesis didn’t seem to care on “Invisible Touch.”įor as derided as this album is, it isn’t my least favorite Genesis album. Gabriel managed to make his songs still sound sincere and never mindless. And “So” had a shift from prog and art rock to a more world music based sound but was also very poppy as well. In fact at that time, Peter Gabriel was riding a huge solo hit with “So,” which also came out in 1986 and was his biggest selling album. In the process of “adapting” to a more poppy sound as well, Genesis wound up with many new fans who wouldn’t have even known about songs like “Supper’s Ready” or “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.” He was at the peak of his powers in 1986 as “Invisible Touch” immediately followed Collins’ smash album “No Jacket Required.” Many old Genesis fans felt alienated since this album did have many similarities to Collins’ pop albums. Obviously, the easy route is to just blame Phil Collins for everything. So how can an album as popular as this one be hated by so many? “Invisible Touch” is the biggest selling release by Genesis. The fans and critics have not liked them and the sales reflected that.
