Selling England By The Pound Genesis SKU: 6749045 Barcode: 602567490456 22.00 £22.00 Genre: Progressive Label: UMC/Virgin Released Date: 31st July 2018 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Genesis proved that they could rock on Foxtrot but on its follow-up Selling England by the Pound they didn’t follow this route, they returned to the English eccentricity of their first records, which wasn’t so much a retreat as a consolidation of powers. For even if this eight-track album has no one song that hits as hard as “Watcher of the Skies,” Genesis hasn’t sacrificed the newfound immediacy of Foxtrot: they’ve married it to their eccentricity, finding ways to infuse it into the delicate whimsy that’s been their calling card since the beginning. This, combined with many overt literary allusions the Tolkeinisms of the title of “The Battle of Epping Forest” only being the most apparent, gives this album a storybook quality. It plays as a collection of short stories, fables, and fairy tales, and it is also a rock record, which naturally makes it quite extraordinary as a collection, but also as a set of individual songs. Genesis has never been as direct as they’ve been on the fanciful yet hook-driven “I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)” apart from the fluttering flutes in the fade-out, it could easily be mistaken for a glam single or as achingly fragile as on “More Fool Me,” sung by Phil Collins. It’s this delicate balance and how the album showcases the band’s narrative force on a small scale as well as large that makes this their arguable high-water mark. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Artist Genesis Genre Progressive Label UMC/Virgin Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1.
