Title: Disappointing...
Review: There is abundant evidence--not just theory, but actual physical evidence--that Phil Collins happens to be a really good drummer. So what kind of self-hatred would make him replace himself with a too-high-in-the-mix Linn Drum machine for not one, or even two, but *every single song* on his solo album? As a direct result of this bizarre act, there really aren't any "songs" present--only loud, dull rhythms. "Take Me Home" is virtually the only place in which melody arises-and even it barely escapes from the jaws of the almighty top-40 beat.
Is the review positive or negative?
