Title: "Hits" Album Marks Death Knell for Collins' Rock/Pop Career!
Review: I suppose I can only give this album a 2 since (a.) many Phil Collins fans probably already own most of the material on the album, dating back to circa 1980s...Phil's heyday, and (b.) Phil probably just wants to "cash in" on those past laurels, especially now that he and "Genesis" pals Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford have apparently parted ways! His new directions -- playing drums with the "Buddy Rich Orchestra," and doing the sound-overs for a "Tarzan" animation -- could either be a genuinely new "talent trail" for Collins, OR a complete "boondoggle" for a performer whose best days are now behind him! Only time will tell, of course. Either way, Phil Collins' contributions to the Progressive Rock scene (via Genesis) and Pop music in general are now the stuff of music history! And we will all no doubt miss the "old" Phil Collins sound...regardless of what his "new incarnation" looks and sounds like!
Is the review positive or negative?
