@@retroreactions.... Except for very few exceptions, everything that is live from Genesis is better, and that means a lot, because what they did in the studio is supreme.
Originally, these two songs were from a four song suite called the " Dodo Suite ", but two of them were dropped from the album, and showed up as B sides to singles( the other songs were called " Naminanu " and " Submarine ". You can find the versions of the four together here on KZread by searching " Genesis Dodo Suite ". The best song from this album(IMHO) though is " Me And Sarah Jane ". Yes, still pretty proggy here, Phil's singing is spot on, as usual.

Love this song and all the Genesis songs I've heard, thanks!
Gone are the fairy tales, here come the 80's! Although I can't deny I prefer their older material, I have to admit the energy the band displays from the 80's on is admirable for a mere threesome. Phil is on fire here, as well as Tony. As for Mike (unassuming, quiet Mike), his bass playing has always been such a solid anchor to the band's music, not to mention the fact he can churn up some quite catchy tunes himself. Glad you enjoyed this track, Brandon. Keep them coming: your reactions are always a pleasure to watch!🐝

Genesis said they wanted to do something more 'abstract' with this album. Not sure what that means, but Mike has his best guitar solos on the title cut.....especially the LIVE version. Makes me want to shake him and say MORE! They really rock and almost sound as if they are jammin' live.

Abacab is the album that follows the great Duke, it is an experimental album, very different from its predecessor. The change in style is noticeable but very interesting. Dodo/Lurker, Abacab, Me and Sara Jane, No Reply At All are some examples of this change.

Nice. Sounds like a transitional album to full 80s Genesis? Thanks so much for watching!
Great! Listening to this after ATTWT must be a great stylistic jump, 3 years later. Phil seems more confident than ever, going more and more daring experience. In fact he just committed his first solo album, that became so successful that everybody had a jaw dropping (Thanks to the multi-platinum hit "in the air tonight") 😉. On this a lot of common songs signed by the three, still on Banks song remains "Me and Sarah Jane" and also Earth Wind and fire horns, a lot of new trials. This song still got something prog in the structure, and you can feel the power feel of the band at that point.
The answer to the Lurker riddle is a submarine, which is the final section of the suite. The drums at the end of Lurker are the same as the drums at the beginning of Submarine.
Gosh. Have not heard that since um '84? Let's call it 40 years :( oh no.... Great stuff tho!

Oh and I should have added earlier, I love those tremendous blasts by Tony Banks on the keyboards. Great choice ! Glad you discovered this magical gem.
I saw them twice on this tour ; London and Cologne . They introduced the world to the Varilight system - lights that changed colour and moved. Today , you'll see it everywhere , back in '81 , you could hear the audiences gasp with unbelief at the lightshow and actually clap and cheer . It was revolutionary. Abacab was a brave album to release , they really wanted to change things Sometimes it doesn't work but then that is subjective. Overall , Genesis took to the 80's better than other bands . And , no , it wasn't Phil trying to make the band commercial - they all went for it .
It's a great song from what I consider perhaps their most underrated album. Abacab album, minus Who Dun it?, is among my top 5 Genesis albums. So many great tracks, this being one of them
I knew you would love this Brandon and it hit you physically as well as aurally! It is such a powerful song! Not every song on this album is good IMO. However, Abacab, Me And Sarah Jane and Keep It Dark are outstanding. The latter is seldom mentioned. But it has an intriguing lyric and a somewhat bizarre time signature that is strangely compelling with synths driving the song along.

Me And Sarah Jane and Keep It Dark are wildly underappreciated. Great call! There's a tonne of great music on this album, imo. Dodo/Lurker, Keep It Dark, Abacab, Me And Sarah Jane are top tier Genesis. Closely followed Man On the Corner, Another Record, and Like It Or Not. No Reply At All is okay but doesn't resonate with me. I'd have preferred they kept the 4-song suite together with Naminanu and Submarine, and leaving off Who Dunnit, and even No Reply At All, if need be. In all honesty, I think it would have fit better on Phil's Face Value or Hello I Must Be Going, regardless of who wrote it.

Such a catalogue (we’d say here). I mean you gotta go back to Trespass. I actually like From Genesis to Revelation, their very first, and I don’t think anyone’s done that yet. My first favorite serious band as soon as I heard them aged 15 in 1985 ❤ Also there are extended versions of a lot of these songs (Dodo is part of a larger suite for example), on the Archives compilation. Have you done Duke? That’s a standout album: the one before this and better? ❤

Plan to do their entire catalog!
Genesis is well known for using Moog Taurus bass pedals. Usually done by Mike Rutherford, at least during live performances.
'Dukes Travels/Dukes End', is a doubler you need to try. Try to find one that leads on from one to the other without a fade mix.

I often say I prefer the Peter Gabriel/Steve Hacket era, until I actually start listening to Duke and Abacab, which, though different, still have a lot of the big-composition, huge sound elements that made their PG/SH time so great too! There's not much from Genesis that isn't drenched in talent. Someone below mentioned "Me and Sarah Jane" from this album too; definitely worth checking out. Even Invisible Touch has big songs like this: "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight," "Domino," and "The Brazilian." Thanks for taking this deep dive!

Along with the title track & another of Tony's masterful compositions "Me & Sarah Jane" the best tracks on the album IMHO. The live version on "3 sides live" is phenomenal. On Abacab they changed their writing format to mostly jamming with a drum machine & achieved some great results. Cheers
I'll be honest: a lot of Genesis' albums, from Abacab onward, have their moments. There are quite a number of hits and misses, as far as songs are concerned. It's gonna take more than one time listening to truly appreciate or respect what the band's created. I felt the same with Wind and Wuthering; now I love it!

A song from the era when Genesis unfortunately produced more and more pop oriented music and mainstream rock. This song has at least a little more power and strength than others. But after "Wind And Wuthering" Genesis made more and more uninspired and uninteresting music. Hackett's departure after "Wind And Wuthering" album was a great loss. His little innovative riffs and guitar melodies were missing from the Genesis sound (for example "Ther´s an angel standing in the sun" from "Supper´s Ready" or the chorus from "Carpet Crawlers"). Rutherford IS not a guitarist. He can be a bit heavy, but that´s all. He plays the guitar without the emotion of a Steve Hackett As the guitar ideas started to be lacking, the Genesis sound became too keyboard-heavy. From ",,,and then there were three" Banks only pasted the pieces with his keyboards.

From the very start of Abacab this album punches you in the ears😅 Such a great sound…Yes this album divided fans a bit…but with a new producer in Padgham (who had produced The Police) the band entered the 80s with a purpose to shake off their past and show that they were not the prog dinosaurs that the punk era critics accused them of being… The last two tracks on the album were the weaker moments for me…there were b sides that could have been better placed on there…however as a ‘whole’ the album stands up and stands out from all their previous work…not many bands were able to do this and survive…
