 PC> Hi folks,
HI PAUL!
 PC> No one has posted a complete review of the new Genesis CD in here
 PC> and I don't intend to do it.  Why?  Because there is no way that I'm
 PC> going to listen to the whole thing.
 PC> I had a chance to "track" it in a demo at a local store...
Based on the song I heard on the radio driving thru Michigan last
month, I wouldn't even waste my time listening to it at the store.
 PC> didn't sound much different from the band I last listened to in 1977.
 PC> Phil is gone but the whimpy music remains.  To me, it sounds like
 PC> average pop from the eighties (ex:Simple Minds).
Really ordinary "pop" with most of the ugly contemporary production
cliches that seem necessary to get played on the radio.  Blech.
 PC> If what you want is the feeling of earlier Genesis, there are tons
 PC> of neoprog bands that offer just that.
I killed an hour browsing Laser's Edge's website today.  There's a
surprising amount of interesting sounding stuph in there for $15
or less.  Too bad Anekdoten won't be turning up in the used CD
stores alongside the new Genesis...
