Johnny Bob ‎– Carnival Of The Brahma-Sox from Germany

This is quite a good band indeed.

Another good album but not as good as the 2019 album but definitely a good 7/10......

Quite an interesting piece from a brass band, worth a listen

Very good album indeed! From Germany/Russia

Has a touch of Keith Emerson in the Keyboards side.

Quote from Backdrifter

Each to their own of course, you can't like what you don't like. But still, I always think it's a pity that some fans see the band's development as some sort of failure, when it really isn't. In fact, to me when a band doesn't change its style, that's more of a failure.

I don't believe they 'sacrificed' anything. They retained their musical integrity, but just applied it differently and in a way that, as you say, many didn't like. At school there were quite a few Genesis fans and I ended up being the only one who liked Abacab, the others all reacted as you described. I've never had a problem with bands moving on and changing, I respect it. That respect increased when in the last few years I learned they junked a load of new material when recording the Duke follow-up, after deciding it was too similar to the last 2 or 3 albums. A bold move that I really admire. If they'd come out with more Burning Rope or Vine type stuff I'd have long gone off them. But I come back to accepting that if the bold move results in music you don't like, I totally get that.

But I can't agree about the 'fluff' thing. Hits consisting of 6-minute spiky songs about child abuse and being obsessed with a mature prostitute aren't what I'd call fluffy. Drippy songs about snowmen, cats and mice, and "poor little nemo" are well within fluff territory, though!

I agree with COT. I listen to more classic Genesis then their later stuff!

As far as prog, they made a history in our timeline and feel Genesis is well known for their Prog related albums then later on.

Been a big fan of Chris for years. His solo albums and Black Codex project are all superb.

Quote from Christian

I always thought that. It may not be everybody's cup of tea, but the different musc styles are quite stunniung

Ant did Pop, a bt of pop, ambient and library music

Then there are plenty of interesting projects in the family as well .....

And these examples sum it perfectly up for me - it's a great band and there's nothing around that's comparable.
