Details: Amazon.ca Duke saw Genesis start, somewhat unwillingly, to shed their progressive-rock mantle. Partly this was a response to the radically changing musical scene, partly a result of Phil Collins’s new-found influence within the band as a songwriter, and partly it was a logical direction if they were to capitalize upon the success of « Follow You Follow Me » from 1978’s And Then There Were Three. Recorded at Abba’s Polar Studios in Stockholm, Duke showcased a more commercial sound, brisker arrangements, and more down-to-earth (some would say merely more prosaic) lyrics. Though Tony Banks was still responsible for the majority of the songwriting, turning in the classic « Duchess » and « Heathaze, » the album also contains Collins’s first two solo compositions, including « Misunderstanding, » a template for the songs of his forthcoming solo career. In contrast to the relatively muddy-sounding And Then There Were Three, Duke is clear and sharp, with Collins’s increasingly arena-friendly drum sound showcased in the mix. –James Swift Product Description Genesis
