(September 2014) I have completed phase 36 of my “opus project” in which I listen to an artist’s full discography from beginning to end. This episode: GENESIS. I admit this one was tedious. The early stuff is mostly impenetrable until the last two albums with Peter Gabriel. The middle stuff is mostly banal, the later stuff crap-tacular, and the last bits unlistenable. But there are some decent songs in there.
Favourite song: In the Cage
Favourite album: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Worst album: Calling All Stations (this was after even Phil Collins left the group).
Compared to expectations: ↓
