Should come with a label warning of "Yikes" - Man of Our Time
When I was a sophomore in high school, growing up in Bar Harbor I scooped ice cream for a summer job. Suffice it to say that the song "Misunderstanding" played on our work radio so much that summer that I can't hear it now without shouting out "Plain or Sugar Cone?" I find this song so dirge-like that I can't get past the opening bars. Heathaze gave me a feeling in my chest that almost had me wondering if I should go get a COVID test, and Turn It On Again and Cul de Sac made me wonder what Andrew Lloyd Webber might have done with a Greatest American Hero musical. I get why people love Genesis, I've been a fan of their other stuff for sure. I guess this album was kind of a bridge for the band, to get them up and running again. I gave it a medium score because I do think that what they do, they do very well. I just can't imagine what I would be doing while I listened to this.
