Phil Collins is a one-man band. He still Can’t Dance; there are only three uptempo songs on this set; but he sings and plays, or programs, the instruments without missing a beat. If you didn’t know any better, you might think you were listening to another Genesis release.
Both Sides isn’t as epic as their last album; few albums are; but it’s a worthy follow-up. The voice of Phil Collins remains a blanket of melody, which helps give a warm and comfy atmosphere to these songs. Most are good. Some, including the idyllic title track, near greatness.
