Anything Genesis is awesome

I enjoyed this summary of an amazing album. Although when the writer dismissed “Robbery Assault & Battery” as not being complex and nothing special (don’t remember the exact words) I was shocked. The whole song is in 7/4 and the keyboard solo is one of Tony’s most complex. Also the notion that Gabriel sang a line in “Squonk” is preposterous. It just had a different vocal effect.
The AI voice wasn’t bad but at least a couple times used the wrong pronunciation of “live” and a couple other odd moments. But it wasn’t bad.
