Phil Collins, gifted drummer, singer of the cult band Genesis and there also involved in the songwriting was a long Superstar.Auch beat this fourth solo work by the success of his first three solo albums at the time of the release of "But Seriously" a, like a bomb, was bought like crazy, includes, inter alia, with "Another Day In Paradise" Radio Hit-compatible material without end and yet ... Were his first two solo albums "Face Value" and "Hello, I Must Be Going" still almost entirely of high creative energy influenced (Power, class, emotions) is, "But Seriously" Unfortunately, the chosen with "No Jacket Required" Way continued. For absolute class tracks are joined by mediocre and Überflüssiges.Dieser trend is expected to worsen with subsequent albums yet. "Hang In Long Enough" makes the driving winds, the great rhythm still really fun, with "Find A Way To My Heart" he proves that he can still write soulful, beautiful pieces, without abstains constantly wiederholen.Allerdings the Album even songs that appear in modified form with new name on his later albums and over again. "Do You Remember", "That`s Just The Way It Is" for me are just boring, that's a matter of taste and nichtssagend.Sicherlich Seen like vielen.Objektiv but you have to realize that here it all began more and more to resemble what later became worse. Who the desolate "One More Night" already loved and can not get enough of this inane rustling, is of course well bedient.Das later published "Can`t Turn Back The Years" is a good example of how much everything Slow he resembled more and more. For such artists all is simply not enough. From the power, the energy, the innovative songwriting, the high creativity of the first two albums is here hardly anything to spüren.Dennoch course it is not really a bad album. For me more than three stars is lacking but then of inspiration in music, but it's a rock-solid pop-rock album. The recording quality, the sound is, fortunately, again significantly better than the strangely flat, thin sounding Vorgänger.Außerdem there is (still) contains a remastering of icon Steve Hoffmann sonically very good revised Gold CD audio Fidelity.Diese even a HDCD -Codierung.Auf corresponding CD players that again leads to a moderate increase in sound.
