I don't think this album is quite as unlistenable as people make it out to be, but 7.0? REALLY? I also vehemently disagree with Abacab being the worst Genesis album, I think it's pretty decent aside from it's bone dry production, their nadir is most definitely this as far as I'm concerned.
I mean it doesn't make my ears bleed or anything, but every song is a painfully dull, repetitive and overlong dirge and Ray Wilson sounding like Bryan Adams with a strep throat doesn't help. It's not the worst album I've ever heard, but it just might be the most boring.
You're gonna hate me for saying it but Congo is the best song on the album simply because it has an honest to god hook with a kinda catchy chorus, I mean it also has Tony's all time worst synth solo, in fact it just might be the lamest synth solo I've ever heard but at least it gives the song a little bit of personality.
