Review of No Jacket Required:
The
winner of the 1985 Grammy for Pop Album of the Year,
No Jacket Required found Phil Collins fully embracing
horn-driven pop music, drum machines, and sentimental
ballads over his darker, more dramatic earlier solo
material. The record established him as a major
commercial force and as one of the most recognizable
voices of the 1980s. Although the major hits here,
"Sussudio," "One More Night,"
"Who Said I Would," and "Don't Lose
My Number" have dated quickly, the album contains
several standout tracks. "Long Long Way to
Go," which features a cameo by Sting, is one
of Collins' most effective ballads, while the pulsating
"Take Me Home" utilizes the drama of "In
the Air Tonight" on a more wistful track. "Only
You Know and I Know" and {"Inside Out,"
meanwhile, show an effective aggressive side to
the singer. It's not a completely satisfying recording
but it is the best example of one of the most dominating
and influential styles of the 1980s. ~ Geoff Orens,
