Review of Phil Collins ...But Seriously
Spawning
four hit singles, But Seriously topped the charts
on both sides of the Atlantic. While pursuing much
of the same formula as on No Jacket Required, there
was also a move toward more organic production as
Collins abandoned some of the drum machines and
prominent keyboards in the up-tempo numbers in favor
of live instrumentation. The decision was a good
one as there's no doubt that tracks such as "Find
a Way to My Heart" and "Hang in Long Enough"
have enough bite to outlast his more dated sounding
mid-80s material. As usual, there are a bit too
many generic ballads here, but when Collins moves
out of his formula as on the dramatic gospel-influenced
"I Wish it Would Rain Down," featuring
Eric Clapton, the results are staggering.
