This review is from: Turn It on Again: The Hits (Audio CD)

This past year, there have been many great group fom the past that have buried the hatchet and decided to reunite. It is a absolutely great thing, especially when the music industry, seems to be more interested in acts today that are just about gloss and no substance like Beyonce', Jennifer Lopez, and Kelly Clarkson. With that, the fact that acts like The Police are touring again as reunion tours is really one of the best notions to go out and see what classic rock is made off. That also goes the same from Genesis. Their reunion offically came together back in April with a appearance at VH1's Rock Honors concert, as Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks returned for a new go-around that sounds great. To celebrate a import hits record has gotten better than ever to expand that style and sound.

The 2007 Genesis Turn It On Again: The Hits Tour Edition, expands a fairly good hits package, into a much more definitive collection, reflecting on the groups longtime era of great pop music during the 70's, 80's and 90's. The collection includes 34 great tracks that sound even better than ever, and show that great music comes from the heart. The songs here expand nicely, and works a bit better than the previous 2005 Platinum Collection, which overlooked a lot of great tracks. The collection includes classics like No Son Of Mine, Jesus He Knows Me, the #1 smash Invisble Touch, In Too Deep, and Follow You, Follow Me, to name a few. The collection also includes overlooked tracks from the original Turn It On Again including the upbeat No Reply At All, Paperlate, and the somber Man On The Corner from Abacab. The collection works very well, and really does a great job of reminding people of an era that now seems to be lost and often forgotten. Sadly, the record does overlook a few tracks, but not as many standouts as other Genesis collections did before, as tracks like Ripples, the Peter Gabriel storytelling from The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway and the haunting Home By The Sea weren't displayed here, but they were from the Platinum Collection.

All in all, Turn It On Again: The Hits Tour Edition works nicely as a wonderful reintroduction to Genesis, and what makes great songs stand out better than what is supposed to be hot today in the music industry. Although not completely definitive, it works well as a great buy, with a lot of attitude taht works. It is just unfortunate this version hasn't been released in the U.S. yet, but hopefully it will. Otherwise, I recommend this one in favor over the 3 CD Platinum Collection.

Nicely done! This is a fantastic way to discover the work of Genesis. A lot of good hits are here, and if anyone out there is curious about Genesis then pick this up and have a listen. Genesis is a band with their own sound. It's called Progressive Rock, and with this album you can listen to the different sounds they have created throughout their career. To make it a bit more interesting, put this cd in your computers cd player and sort it out by the years. iTunes is good for this or whatever other kinds of programs are out there. This way you can hear it in cronilogical order, and that will give you a better over view of their work. Check out hits like "Paperlate", "Turn It on Again", "I know what I like (In Your Wardrobe)", "Invisible Touch", "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", "Follow You Follow Me", "Abacab", "Throwing It All Away", "Man on the Corner", and the fantastic "Misunderstanding". Every hit on this album is incredible. Pick this up and listen to one of the best bands that has ever existed. I highley recommend this to anyone who enjoys good music!
