Tracks
Genesis' ninth studio album, "And Then There Were Three...", released in 1978, marked a turning point in the band's sound and signaled their transition from progressive rock to a more accessible and pop-oriented direction. Following the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett, the remaining trio of Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford crafted an album that showcased their evolving musical sensibilities.
Despite the shift in sound, Genesis retained their signature blend of intricate instrumental arrangements, soaring harmonies, and Collins' emotive vocals. Songs like "Follow You Follow Me" and "Deep in the Motherlode" became radio hits.
While "And Then There Were Three..." received mixed reviews from critics, it proved to be a commercial success, reaching number three on the UK Albums Chart and number 14 on the US Billboard 200. The album's popularity solidified the trio's status as one of the leading rock bands of the era and paved the way for their continued success in the 1980s.
