CAS despite its limits (lacks a hit song and RW's voice is not exciting) it has the advantage of being an album not too pop oriented like IT and WCD.

I like your opinion:
"Though the album lacks some of the knockout epics of even recent works like Up’s “Signal to Noise,” each sonically immaculate track contains layers of intrigue".
-
Maybe the only I/O song with political lyrics (but not too much).
-
Maybe loosely based on this book:

The Melancholy of Resistance László Krasznahorkai.

A great hit!
-
The 1986 album Please is a must have!

The RS eat the Maneskin in one bite!

I am very sorry.
I judged the song for its melody and emotion.
I made the mistake because Father, Son PG sang it at his father's funeral.
-
I like it.
Better than Father, Son.

15 points, Outstanding.
I didn't know anything about SH and I discovered it with the Genesis R-Kive CD.
The next step is SH Access All Areas live CD, which started with Camino Royale.
It was fantastic!

If he didn't say "fake" I would have taken it as an authentic Genesis Jam!
-
It's the album I love least, because I don't see IMHO great melodies, like the Duke album, IT and WCD.
-
What about them?
Both punk and disco have kill prog music.
Genesis have switched to pop.

Display MoreI think this period (1981-1983) is quite interesting in the history of the band :
- Phil Collins first solo album, totally different from Genesis;
- Genesis most radical album ever (Abacab);
- Steve Hackett releasing a "pop" album (Cured);
- Mike doing the same (Acting Very Strange);
- Then Tony doing the same (The Fugitive);
- Anthony Phillips playing pure-synth stuff;
- Then the same Anthony Phillips playing "pop" (Invisible Men), although it seems he wasn't very fond of it.
You see what I mean ? At this point of time, it's like all were trying not to even evoke what they were supposed to be (musically, I mean).
Punk & Disco!
Elementary, my dear Watson.

For me an interesting excerpt:
"In the wake of Punk and Disco, soft lyricism was out and roughness and rhythm ruled the day: I stumbled across a compromise really by accident, courtesy of the Roland CR78 Drum Machine - keep the rhythm going but try and use interesting harmonies on top!"
The Roland CR78 dictatorship!

I read somewhere that Ant didn't have money to play with better instruments.
-
"It was told, that PG has rehearesed Shock The Monkey on soundchecks...".
Fortunately!
I was afraid that he had left this song in oblivion.
