Product Description
Phil Collins' fourth solo album, 1989's BUT SERIOUSLY, is the first solo release by the Genesis drummer after 1985's NOJACKET REQUIRED, the album which catapulted this oddly charming guy into a multimedia superstar with a budding film andtelevision career. As the title hints, BUT SERIOUSLY is a mature, thoughtful album, less giddy than the hit machine that was NO JACKET REQUIRED, and with a newfound sense of social commentary on songs like "Something Happened on the Way toHeaven" and the anti-homelessness single "Another Day in Paradise".
What saves BUT SERIOUSLY from incipient earnestness is Collins' usual sense of diffident offhandedness, andhis typically fine sense of pop songcraft. While BUT SERIOUSLY was not the worldbeater its predecessor was, it's a moresatisfying and long-lasting album.

Customer Reviews
It's Phil!!!
It seems to have become a sin to like Phil Collins. I have always liked his music. From all the Genesis stuff to his solo stuff. It is not all by any means great but he has had some excellent moments. This album being one of the highest points. My dad used to play this in the car when it was first released (my first taste of Collins) just realised I must have been 11 then (30 now!). Still listen to it occasionally for a sing along. If you have never owned any of his albums give it a try.
MOR Here We Are
Oh dear. Phil is concerned with seriousness. Well 'Another day in Paradise' is a worthy effort but its the same old formulaic sound. Musical magnolia of the sort Dido and the like would be 'proud' of.
.......But Seriously This Is A Work Of Art!!
This album from 1989 was number 1 in the UK for a total of 15 weeks (Just thought i'll tell you that!) This is a pure work of art from start to finish and each track is a real gem! A must buy!
