I'm really liking it so far. I've put Opeth off forever. I tried getting into them 20 years ago when everybody was creaming their pants over Still Life and Blackwater Park. I couldn't get over the vocals and the music sounded soulless. This is such a drastic departure from what I remember them sounding like.

Steve Hackett

Tull had moved away from prog elements in 1984, but I really do like Under Wraps. Most of the tracks are good but they're held back by the arrangements and instrumentation. The album needed a heavier, meatier sound, lean more into the synths but use live drums.

Without. Duke was their best album and the second best prog album of the decade right behind Discipline.
>>
I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds.But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
