Both Sides

Phil Collins
68/100
first
Adult Comtemporary, Pop Rock

I've forgotten everything (already). It's like fishing without a bite, the atmosphere is there but there is no action, nothing gripping you in. As background audio this would be perfectly fine but as with music in general there is better stuff out there for specific purposes/moods. I think I would probably prefer listening to this over some other albums I have rated higher just because I do like Phil's music but those albums felt like they were trying harder. I don't think Both Sides of this album are equal as there are those tracks on the second half of the album that are able to carve their way into my memory a bit by sounding very beautiful but it really isn't enough and there isn't a single track on this album that stands out.
