Turn It on Again: Tour Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When it comes to classic rock today, it really has made a great comeback to the stage. With great and well-dedicated reunions from British Rock dominating this past year, like The Police, many have really been welcomed to a whole new audience. That also has been the same with the surprise reunion of Genesis, who earlier this year performed during VH1's Rock Honors benefit. Undoubtingly, for Genesis who just saw the success of their Phil Collins' era re-released from Rhino, a celebration of songs came around, with another greatest hits album. This time, its definitely worth turning onto the songs again, with a great reunion tour, and a chance to re-introduce the songs that made them legends.
The 2007 Genesis Turn It On Again The Hits: The Tour Edition expands and improves well from what was left put from the 1999 single disc edition of Turn It On Again. The double album contain 34 great Genesis tracks, spanning the groups three decades of Rock & Pop music. When you hear this collection, you're really reminded of how well Genesis crafted their sounds brilliantly. The collection has been remastered very well, and improves from what was mostly left out from the groups two previous hits records, 1999 Turn It On Again, and the 2005 Platinum Collection. The collection includes all of the tracks from the original Turn It On Again like Invisble Touch, Abacab, Hold On My Heart, and Throwing It All Away. Also, it expands nicely by bringing in a lot of the overlooked songs from before during the groups 70's era like Trick Of The Tail, Your Own Special Way, Counting On Time, and Many Too Many, as well as some of the 80's tracks that were left out before like the haunting Duchess, the upbeat Paperlate, the somber Man On The Corner and No Reply At All. While not every hit was highlighted on the album though. The collection does overlook a few songs like The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Ripples and the dark and haunting Home By The Sea, in favor of lesser-known tracks like Tell Me Why from We Can't Dance and Piegons.
Still, Turn It On Again The Hits: The Tour Edition from Genesis is a much better hits record than the previous two because it is well-dedicated to more of the major hits that were overlooked before at a well-affordable price. If you're a die hard fan of Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford & Tony Banks, and all those great songs, or if you haven't even yet heard the Genesis experience, than I really recommend you buy this album. You can definitely say I Can Dance to this great album.

The 18 songs collected here were some of the biggest smashes to hit radio and the growing world of music videos in the eighties and beyond. Songs like Land Of Confusion, Invisible Touch, and I Can’t Dance made Genesis one of the biggest touring arena bands and made members Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford household names.
