Phil Colins rose to fame from his 4 popular studio Albums, Face Value (1981), Hello, I Must Be Going (1982), No Jacket Required (1985), and But Seriously (1989). Both Sides Now is a bit of a departure from these 4 previous albums. The music is slowed down and maybe a bit more serious than his previous works. Both Sides Now didn't do as well in the charts are previous efforts. Probably because his fans were expecting more of the same. This album is not more of the same, it's kind of a reset and I for one really enjoy it. When you listen to this album on a good system you'll hear subtle musical details along with lyrics that will engage you. It's not so much about pop music like his previous efforts, It's more about engaging the listener into an emotional journey. His previous albums had slower songs but also had more fast paced having fun songs. As always, the mood you're in will likely affect your perception of this album. I like listening to it with the lights dimmed late at night at low to medium volume. Highly recommended for audiophiles & music lovers who want lots of sonic detail and an emotional connection to Phil's music.Read full review

Many of the aging baby boomer musicians that we grew up on, and that defined most all of the music of the day, are coming out of "retirement" and putting out some of their best efforts yet - beautiful meaningful new music. Collins is no different on his new release, "Both Sides". Hints of old solo work and his time with Genesis. Full of passionate sincere songwriting with no attention (nor reason) to pleasing any of the record execs. Highly recommend.

An underrated album made in home studio. All instruments were played by Phil Collins himself!.. This is not a collection of pop songs album... This is Art Rock! Phil winds up with an album that is quietly compelling Great songs witn awesome audio remastering. Beautiful presentation, inner sleeve pictures, songtext and introduction by the author.. A truly amazing work made by one man band: Phil Collins!
