Title: Disappointing.
Review: As a huge PC/Genesis fan (in high school I owned nothing *but* Genesis and Phil Collins albums!), I was pretty excited when I saw that PC had released a new album, so I snatched it up. I wasn't too thrilled with "Dance" but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. But disppointment was all that awaited me.As mentioned by other reviewers, the music is generic, contains very little lyrical "grit" and is overly synthesized. One of the biggest reasons I used to enjoy PC's music was for the sheer power in his drumming. The man used to play "with his heart on his sleeve" but it seems that Phil thinks that "the old days are gone, and they're better left alone."I know we all mellow-out a bit as we get older, but this is ridiculous. The only reason I'm not throwing this CD away is because I paid good money for it. If you grew-up listening to Phil Collins through the late 70's (in Genesis) and early 80's (when he went solo), you'll probably want to bypass this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
