...But Seriously album Product Description
Phil Collins' fourth solo album, 1989's BUT SERIOUSLY, is the first solo release by the Genesis drummer after 1985's NO JACKET REQUIRED, the album which catapulted this oddly charming guy into a multimedia superstar with a budding film and television career. As the title hints, BUT SERIOUSLY is a mature, thoughtful album, less giddy than the hit machine that was NO JACKET REQUIRED, and with a newfound sense of social commentary on songs like "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven" and the anti-homelessness single "Another Day in Paradise." What saves BUT SERIOUSLY from incipient earnestness is Collins' usual sense of diffident offhandedness, and his typically fine sense of pop songcraft. While BUT SERIOUSLY was not the worldbeater its predecessor was, it's a more satisfying and long-lasting album. Live Recording Recorded at the Farm, Surrey, England and A&M Studios, Los Angeles, California. Personnel: Phil Collins (vocals, keyboards, drums, tambourine); David Crosby (vocals); Daryl Stuermer, Dominic Miller, Eric Clapton (guitar); Steve Winwood (Hammond organ); Nathan East, Lelan Sklar, Pino Palladino (bass); Alex Brown, Marva King, Lynn Fiddmont (background vocals). ...See Full Description

| A great step for Phil On ... But Seriously, Phil Collins combines the atmospherics of "Face Value" with the hit-making potential of "No Jacket Required". What this created was a personal, somewhat moody record that not only was personally and artistically satisfying, but could also appeal more to the public than usual. It was a master-stroke for Phil to bring in David Crosby, from Crosby, Stills & Nash, to help out with some of the harmonies. Their voices on the major hit, "Another Day In Paradise", absolutely shimmer. But that isn't the only highlight. "I Wish It Would Rain Down" is a suburban epic, with Eric Clapton on guitar, and the song "That's Just The Way It Is" is one of Phil's best ballads that doesn't drown in sentimentality. Now, this album doesn't drown itself in ballads, but it gets close, with the slight sappinesss (for Phil) of "All Of My Life" and "Do You Remember", but when Phil decides to rock, he does rock, and pretty well at that.

| Phil Collins best solo album! Just the number one hit single another day in paradise makes this album worth buying. By Johantegby (Sweden) |
| Still the best, in 2006! I listened to the complete album only now, and I say I like it over all the present chart-toppers! Where is such melody, such rhythm, such emotion these days... By Aakash (New Delhi, India) |
| It's OK I really like some of the songs on this album. "Heat On The Street," "Hang In Long Enough," and "Father To Son" are probably my favorite ones on this album. I recommend it, even if it's not as good as "Hits" from 1998. By Joe (Virginia Beach, VA, USA) |
| p.c. at his best ! Being a Genesis/Phil Collins fan for many years (got all available albums), this one is my personal favourite. Those 12 tracks reveal not only his tremendous capabilities as a musician, but moreover, as a lyric/texter, who knows what he´s talking about, as in "father to son","find a way to my heart" or "something happened on the way to heaven". I love this album. By karsten (Germany,Hannover (Expo-City)) |
