Calling all stations
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am
I've lost all sense of direction
Watching the darkness closing around me
Feeling the cold all through my body
That's why I'm calling all stations
In the hope that someone hears me
A single lonely voice
I feel the sensation disappearing
There's a tingling in my arms
And there's a numbness in my hands
All the broken promises
All my good intentions don't add up to very much
And I realise whatever happened, whatever happened
I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life
All the things I was always gonna do
Why is it now when it's too late
That I've finally realised it's important to me
To think that everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
Calling all stations
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am
How different things look when you're all on your own
Watching the darkness closing all around me
All around me
And I long for the feeling
Of your arms to remind me
Of everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relieve it one second at a time
Don't you know that's never been a moment
When I haven't had the thought
Of everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relieve it one second at a time
As I sit here in the darkness
Feeling so alone
And everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart...

My taste in music must suck because I think this is an amazing album. Then again, I wasn't expecting it to be classic Genesis. I think it's very good progressive rock along the lines of Asia. No one's ever going to replace Peter (except Phil) and no one is going to replace Phil. It was a new thing.

I don't find this as bad as many people do, but the musicianship is definitely lacking. All the same, Wilson does a good job on the vocals.

Right singer, wrong time, and Genesis was already fading during We Can't Dnace anyways.

This is quite a disappointing comeback for Genesis. I felt that they thought they could slop together anything and get away with it, being Genesis, a famous band. But they were wrong. Because this is considered the worst Genesis album ever, and to some one of the worst album ever. It is not completely terrible though, for "Calling all Stations," and "The Dividing Line" pose some form of entertainment.

"One man's joy makes another man weep, nothing you can do will ever change it"
I will admit I am no prog connoisseur but Im gonna stick up for this album. I unashamedly like
easy listening, power ballads and
understated, mature pop music. This has all that within the scaffolding of well crafted, yet
simple and
accessible prog musicianship. I don't think letting rip would suit these songs. I really enjoy
Wilson's smooth tone, but he also has range as
seen on 'There must be Some Other Way' where he adds some bite. I think the songs are
consistent, even Small Talk and Congo which sound dated, even for the time. Sometimes I get David
Gilmour song
writing vibes with the
heavy
keyboard emphasis and crying blues guitar. Then theres the fact both bands recorded in an era of
tasteless engineering techniques. Furthermore the lyrics about relationships and communication.
It's all very competent, beautiful but lacking edge or a leader with a truly incisive, Water's
type
wit which would have raised it to another level. Luckily we are spared the Gilmour styleoveruse of
backing soul singers. However I could have done without the cold
and loud sound gated drums though, which are an occasional headache on the pop tunes. Sometimes
its ugly
spectre makes an unwelcome appearance on the ballads. Id have liked to hear more of this iteration
of the band but for foolhardy business decisions by the band. Maybe the backlash was
too severe to carry on without damaging the legacy further.

I have no idea how anyone would have thought Ray Wilson could have worked with Genesis but ok

This album is the perfect soundtrack to a party scene in the TV show Everybody Loves Raymond.

It's actually not a bad album, just not really inspired.
The title track is very descent, both in composition and execution.

With their later, more pop-oriented releases, Genesis really fell off the wagon.
