This is the first studio album from Phil Collins since bad diagnosis in 2004. This thirteen-song debut EP shows the promise that Phil Collins has. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Phil Collins energies, virtually a rebirth. It is very deep stuff - very exciting
This Must Be Love is the funkiest number on the album. Behind The Lines is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Roof Is Leaking one of the best in my collection. Droned is almost impossible to review. Hand In Hand is the song that really did it for me. I Missed Again is possibly the best song Phil Collins has come up. You Know What I Mean had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Im Not Moving has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. When I listen to If Leaving Me Is Easy in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Thunder and Lightning defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone.
