This gem of an album from 1981, with the triumvirate of Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks at its core, begs the use of a word more often appliled to less-confrontational jazz in that it's 'accessible.' Indeed, Abacab actually has a song count of nine tracks, and it gave us tuneful numbers like 'No Reply At All' and the title cut. The sound is is spectacular, especially Phil's vocals, and I can't believe I'm saying this but the group almost seems likeable.\" Sound Quality: 90% — Ken Kessler, Hi Fi News, February 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertified multi-platinum-selling in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, Genesis' album Abacab, released in 1981, marked the band's move from their progressive music roots to more accessible and pop-oriented songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenesis released four singles from the album, the most successful being \"Abacab\" and \"No Reply at All,\" together with \"Man on the Corner.\" Extensive radio play helped boost the album's commercial success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was engineered by Hugh Padgham, known for his work with other successful artists like Phil Collins and The Police. His production techniques, including the gated reverb drum sound, contributed to the album's modern and radio-friendly sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn November 1980 the band bought Fisher Lane Farm, a farmhouse with an adjoining cowshed near Chiddingfold, Surrey, as their new private rehearsal and recording facility. In the process of remodelling the building into a studio, the trio reconvened in the farm house to write and rehearse new material, which initially took place in the living room, and they started recording Abacab in March 1981 once the studio was operational. It was the first Genesis album recorded in England since A Trick of the Tail (1976).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Hybrid Stereo SACD Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue of the classic Abacab is a sonic gift for all true Genesis fans!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
