Just saw this in town for a fiver and I didn’t have it, so now I do. I only really know the title track, so let’s see. I guess this is the transition from 70s Genesis to 80s Genesis right here. Their ’new sound’, which I have to say is growing on me as I get older. #Genesis #vinyl #ABACAB

Abacab

Keep it dark -- Genesis releases Abacab on September 18, 1981. The album marked a clear transition away from Genesis progressive rock sound toward a more mainstream sound. The album's title track, "Abacab," was a top-10 hit in the UK and a Top 40 hit in the US.

Are we just like all the rest
We're looking too hard for something he's got
Or moving too fast to rest
But like a monkey on your back you need it
But do you love it enough to leave it

"#Abacab apareció casi inmediatamente después de Duke y se beneficia de un nuevo productor, Hugh Padgham, que proporciona a la banda un sonido más de los ochenta, y aunque las canciones parecen ligeramente poco concretas, todavía hay grandes fragmentos en todo el disco: la prolongada jam de la mitad del corte del título y los metales de un grupo llamado Earth, Wind and Fire en “No replay at all” son solo dos ejemplos. Las canciones vuelven a reflejar oscuras emociones y son sobre personas que se sienten perdidas o están en conflicto, pero la producción y el sonido son brillantes e insuperables (incluso cuando los títulos no lo son, “No reply at all”, “Keep it dark”, “Who dunnit”, “Like it or not”). El bajo de Mike Rutherford queda un poco opaco en las mezclas, pero, por otra parte, la banda, empujada de nuevo por la batería de Phil Collins, suena compacta, auténticamente asombrosa. Incluso en sus momentos más desesperanzados (como la canción “Dodo” sobre la extinción), Abacab es musicalmente muy pop y alegre". Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho, 1991.

Oula, #Abacab de #Genesis, y a peut-être #ACAB dedans et c’est rigolo, par contre l’album, musicalement, est vraiment pas fou 😳

..if you think #Genesis is a joke pop band, go check out the album (disc, or whatever they call 'em now) #Abacab

It's brilliant

#ACAB Includes #abacab so that means Genesis is #ACAB I don't make the rules

I'd like to read from the book of Genesis:
"Look up on the wall, there on the floor
Under the pillow, behind the door
There's a crack in the mirror
Somewhere there's a hole in a window pane
Do you think I'm to blame?"
