Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing a deliberate pivot toward shorter, more accessible song structures, 'Sides' balances the founding Genesis guitarist's pastoral progressive tendencies with contemporary pop sensibilities. The production features a polished, melodic approach, utilizing an array of guest vocalists to deliver its romantic and reflective lyricism. Though a departure from his sprawling instrumental suites, it effectively demonstrates his versatility as a pop-rock songwriter.
