Genesis- Mama The darkest Colins era song they ever did. I think this is proof Colins wasn't all fluff. This was his, In The Air Tonight, I Don't Care Anymore era. The songs had more atmosphere too them. And weren't quite poppy phil yet. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

That came from Melle Mel's part in The Message by The Furious Five. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I cannot understand why an artist that recorded a brilliant song like Mama went on to record shite music ever since Another Day In Paradise became a hit. Such a waste of talent... RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... |

"Mama" is genius. Phil is an underrated rock vocalist. He's completely unhinged on this one and it's amazing. I like the Genesis album. "That's All" is a great pop single. "Home By the Sea" and "Taking it All Too Hard" are really good as well.
"Illegal Alien" - - - not so much. * * *

Just a Job to do another great track from that record! Again Phil will always get hated on but he could bring it, rock, pop, and whatever in the middle.

I'd go off when they get to that bridge... Phil brought out a sinister creep vibe in this song that I dug.

Great song from a great album. Still listen to this on a regular basis. Agree its one of Collins best. Just before he went total pop...and my opinion last time his stuff was interesting. From No Jacket Required on dude totally lost it. |

What a great song! Forgot about that one. They/He knew how to build a song. Phil was the man I don't care what anyone says. I look forward to the new stuff he's working on with Adele. | |
