"Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite."

A definite improvement over ...And Then There Were Three..., and an album that I find myself coming back with increasing frequency. The melodies are catchy, the songwriting is solid, and there are also some prog tendencies. Excellent.

A very underrsted Genesis album. Yes, it has pop driven soumd but it still is on a different level. Phil's vocals are just so soothing.

I have difficulty to define the music on Duke. However, it is not a bad album. Somehow I have the feeling that it partially failed. It has two great tracks Duke Travels and Duke End, a good track Heathaze, two great pop songs Misunderstanding and especially Turn It On Again, but the rest of the album does not call much my attention. So, the final result is an indefinite album. I think that after the release of ...And Then There Were Three? the band searched to do something different and more commercial, to break with their past. However, I think on Duke they had not the courage, or they were unwilling, to cut radically with their past.

A fine blend of prog and pop elements. One of their best records.

My favourite Genesis and easily their most underrated release. Personal Highlights: Duchess, Turn It On Again, Heathaze and Duke's End.
