Album Notes
Genesis: Mike Rutherford (vocals, guitar, bass); Tony Banks (vocals, keyboards); Phil Collins (vocals, drums, percussion).Recorded at The Farm, Surrey, England in 1983.Ever since Genesis was reduced down to the trio of Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford, the former prog-rock giants had made a concerted effort to streamline their music into more bite-sized pop portions. GENESIS was an important bridge to this goal. Coupled with frontman/drummer Collins' burgeoning solo career and the emergence of MTV, the band soon gained a higher profile in the eyes of the record buying public. Genesis' prosperity, along with the solo success of individual members (particularly Collins) meant that GENESIS became part of a decade-long cycle in which band album releases alternated with those by Phil Collins.Driven by Banks' simple keyboard lines, "That's All" became the album's first hit and first of three videos shot for MTV. The other two, the ominous "Mama" and the humorous "Illegal Alien" both helped bolster the band's pop visibility. Although the Jan Hammer-flavored "Just a Job to Do" wasn't made into a video, this hard-driving song was later incorporated into an episode of the television program Miami Vice. Despite the obvious stylistic changes, art-rock elements still popped up particularly in "Home By the Sea" and the sequel, "Second Home By the Sea."

I bought this album because this is the music I love, a diverse collection from old folk music from the early 60's to the beat of the heart of rock and roll, with just enough country thrown in to keep me Texan! On this album, the rich, deep and thoroughly seductive voice of Phil Collins surrounds me in my studio, stirring my creativity. I highly recommend this album to anyone seeking a nice rock beat, not too heavy or loud, particularly, but great listening or even better, sing along!!
I bought this CD because I had it on cassette way back when and wore it out! Not a bad song on the whole disk. Mama, Home By the Sea, etc. how can you go wrong. During the period before Phil Collins wimped out and still sang the lyrics like he had an axe to grind and realy meant what he was saying. A must have for any collection!
Many radio pop hits with a few good/not so bad songs fill this album and was produced by Hugh Padham (also known for Synchonicity by a little band called the police!) Mama, No Reply At All, Illegal Alien and It's Gonna Get Better are my favs.
Genesis’ self-titled album isn’t quite as epic as the band’s final work under Phil Collins in the form of “Invisible Touch,” and “We Can’t Dance.” As a work building toward these two incredible albums, “Genesis” is merely good with signs of the greatness to come. Some of the tracks soar (“That’s All” “Home By The Sea”) while others fall begrudgingly flat (“Silver Rainbow”). Nonetheless, “Genesis” is a must-have addition for die-hard fans; beginners would do best starting with the band’s final two albums.
My favorite song is on this CD:"That's All"; however, all of the rest of the songs are duds....but, oh! Phil Collins has a great voice!
