4.0 out of 5 stars Taking It Not Too Hard, November 21, 2007
By Michael Kerner "Michael Kerner" (Brooklyn, New York U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This past year has proved to be a banner year for the nostalgic British Rock group. With a surprising 2007 reunion tour, Phil Collins and his partners in crime Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks have proven even with time, they still have the strength to perform great songs together. That has proven well with Rhino records re-releasing the entire Genesis catalog from top to bottom, and a remarkable set of reintroductions of what made the classic sound still survive today. With Phil's solo success on the rise in the 80's, so did a new commercially successful sound proved to bring the hardship of what innovative music really was like to so many folds, and that can be said with this self-titled re-release.

The 2007 re-release of Genesis, the self-titled album of Genesis, proved the songs had more hype, and the continuing vibe Genesis was feeling. After the success of Abacab, and Phil's solo albums Face Value & Hello, I Must Be Going, the songs delivered with a bit more rhythm, as was with he stamina of the album. The songs have all been remastered on this new edition of the album in 5.1 surround, which gives the songs a new life and a better sound than before. The album includes the classics That's All, the deep and haunting Mama which still sounds edgey today, as well as guilty pleasures like the upbeat Illegal Alien and the deep storytelling Home By The Sea, and the instrumental Second Home By The Sea. The DVD also brings out well to die hard fans, by including the classic videos Mama, Illegal Alien, and many others. It also includes a behind the scenes look at their hyped 1983 Mama tour, which includes behind the scenes performances of cult classsics like The Carpet Crawlers and Eleventh Earl Of War.

All in all, while the self-titled album Genesis didn't have the complete commercial success of their other albums like Invisible Touch or Duke, it still has a distinctive vibe of its own that makes it worth while. It is a great buy for die hard fans, and a great sampler for anyone who has yet to feel the 80's brought to great pop music. I really think this is a good listen to, that's all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet Another Great Genesis CD, November 23, 2007
By The Footpath Cowboy "rockerusa2002" (Kingston, NY United States) - See all my reviews
  
Genesis' self-titled 1983 album has been reissued in a wonderful CD/DVD format that really gives you proof that the band did have a sense of humor, especially when it came to their videos. Their songs on this great album ranged from humorous fooling around ("Illegal Alien") to pure menace ("Mama", "Home By The Sea", "Just A Job To Do") to tales of romantic discord ("That's All", "Taking It All To Hard") to songs of hope that are helping me look good for a number of pretty actresses ("Silver Rainbow", "It's Gonna Get Better"). Some critics were deriding the band as easy-listening lightweights by 1983, but I disagree, and have been watching reruns of the sitcom WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU for a template to take these comments like, as they aren't totally true. The music is harmless, yet never boring. This is a package you must own if you enjoy progressive pop-rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mindblowing, June 13, 2009
This review is from: Genesis (Audio CD)
Wow this is what SACD is all about, this was one of my absolute favorites from my youth. And hearing it in this quality just blew me totally away. It was my first SACD even though I've had dvd-audio disk for years. This really is something special. If you're a fan and can play SACD disks you 100% for sure should buy this ASAP.
