Rethinking Invisible Touch.

The "Invisible Touch" album is a very clever album. It came out at a time when the band's popularity reached it's peak. Unfortunately, the critics panned the album due to "Phil Burnout" and never gave the album a chance. They called it, "The Phil Collins Solo Album." Phil was everywhere during this part of his career. Therefore, this album must be an extension of his work, not Genesis. 33 years later, nothing can be further from the truth.  

"Invisible Touch" has all the makings of a Genesis album.The songs are deeper than originally credited. The band touched upon themes that were dark and original. Cleverly, disguised as pop, some songs pay homage to the past. Other songs explore modern issues such as addiction and self destruction. "Land of Confusion" infused a brave critique of modern governments. Even the love songs were darker than people realized. "In Too Deep" is more complex than people realize; it is more about the complexities of love than love itself. 

The track "Domino" was a great prog song that would become a staple for future concerts. A song about actions and unintended consequences, it reflects not only our past, but our present. One person can impact the next in line and the next in line....

Prog haters of the 3-man era, take a step back, and give the newer albums like "Invisible Touch" a chance. There are no more distractions, just the music. Rediscover the complexities of "Invisible Touch." You might discover what I did; this is truly a great album.
