Genesis - And Then There Were Three: Review

This week Shaun and Tim discussed the ninth studio album by Genesis, And Then There Were Three. Themes discussed include: whether this was Genesis’ least experimental album, what Steve Hackett’s absence meant to the band, whether the unexpected is a necessary but insufficient condition for artistic creation and whether the album should have been called “Selling America By The Pound”. Also, was there any instrument on the album that couldn’t have been played by Tony Banks? Was Ballad of Big about Steve Hackett? Did Shaun get off the Genesis bus before or after Tesco’s? What the hell is Snowbound about? And which was the first Genesis track on which Phil start discussing his Mama?
