Album Notes & Community Reviews
Genesis takes a drastic, decisive step away from their symphonic progressive rock origins to fully embrace punchy 80s production, drum machines, and sleek pop arrangements. 'Abacab' is a highly melodic, remarkably quirky pop-rock pivot that heavily relies on Phil Collins' gated reverb sound, resulting in a playful yet abstract commercial blockbuster.
