In the Air Tonight may be nothing less than a classic, but the remainder of Collins' solo debut Face Value definitely was a letdown. While some of the songs on the first half are quite enjoyable (Behind the Lines, Droned), the album dwindles, even closing with a rather awkward cover of The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. While Collins' had fantastic potential to make wonderful pop songs, he only shows it on one of them here, and that doesn't make the affair all too interesting.

Phil Collins has a knack for writing great pop tracks and Face Value is a solid example of that. Nevertheless, this album also displays his inconsistency, as overall it is an uneven effort which contains classics like "In The Air Tonight" and "The Roof Is Leaking" really good ones such as "I Missed Again" and "This Must Be Love" and a fair amount of filler. However, that doesn't take away the fact that this is a very enjoyable listen.

Face Value is an early showing of Collins' knack for R&B flared songwriting while adding his signature vocals and drumming style to the mix, and it works in spades. "In The Air Tonight" and "I Missed Again" are too contradicting choice cuts that bring out the best of the album while "This Must Be Love" and "If Leaving Me Is Easy" show him comfortably embracing this new direction from his band Genesis.

One classic song ("In The Air Tonight"), one decent song ("Behind The Lines"), one mediocre-but-somehow-okay song ("The Roof Is Leaking"), and a bunch of filler shit, including a misguided cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows".
