Wait a moment. The line "Look up on the wall" is from Abacab's title track.

My name comes from my parents, who are the ones who gave it to me.
Come on, @avclub-a24b54b58362f8dc4b670364958fe18c:disqus. Would it hurt you to have some consideration for your fellow man?
Whoa, he's a shapeshifter!
My problem with Both Sides stems from the fact that it sounds so thin and under-produced. You can't release your demos and expect me to applaud your use of the same goddamn keyboard sound in every single song.
I adore "Eleventh Earl of Mar," but the middle section of "One for the Vine" is what has inspired the most passionate air-drumming from me.
If you do, try to find a copy that features the fourth studio side. Later CD versions replaced it with live recordings from earlier tours (thus making nonsense of the album's title).
He's on Another Green World for Pete's sake. If that confer credibility on him, nothing will.
@avclub-180a4a64136ef6d687a1f019b95cc1cb:disqus I'm a sucker for synthesizers that sound like synthesizers, so that aspect of "Wot Gorilla?" is a plus for me, not a minus. And your post makes plenty of sense.
@avclub-180a4a64136ef6d687a1f019b95cc1cb:disqus Are you denying the greatness of "Wot Gorilla?" I freely admit that I have a weakness for rock instrumentals, but that is one of my favorite tracks on that record. And "Inside and Out" did see the light of day on the Spot the Pigeon EP.
I wouldn't mind seeing them do Foxtrot.
You're on dangerous ground, @avclub-2ac233bc53744593f485e5752aaa692a:disqus. You'd better go into silent running.
Having slept on it, I now know how this show will move forward. Since this episode included a scene where McDermott talks on the phone to the White House staffer who's with his father and son, the next episode will have a scene where the White House staffer gets a call from the guy who's holding his family hostage,…
I take it you missed the shower scene, in which case shame on you.
Don't forget Genesis and Peter Gabriel's first four solo records.
I find it hilarious that more than a third of this review is spent re-reviewing the band's previous album.
One of my favorite Phil Collins productions is Frida's "I Know There's Something Going On." That to me is the apex of the gated drum sound that he helped introduce to the world (for better or for worse).
I like Phil's solo work up through and including …But Seriously. He irrevocably lost me at Both Sides.
With the exception of "Me and Sarah Jane," I prefer the Three Sides Live versions of these songs as well. (There's a missing keyboard line on the live recording of "Sarah Jane" that Phil can't make up for with his extemporaneous singing.)
When I was in college there was a weekly program on the campus radio station where students could come in and read poetry. As a joke, I painstakingly transcribed the words to "Whodunnit?" (including all of the repetitions) and recited them as earnestly as I could.
