Both Sides-Phil Collins

The most authentic and emotionally transparent album of Phil Collins' career is explored. That album, of course, is "Both Sides," which was released in October of 1993. From it's opening title track to "Everyday," a more run-of-the mill Phil ballad, to a song that's clearly a commentary on domestic terrorism called "We Wait and We Wonder," this record has it all. This record is as raw as Phil gets. I highly recommend streaming it or buying a physical copy. Both Sides was written during an emotionally tumultuous time for the Genesis drummer after concluding their We Can't Dance tour. It's very 90's Phil, but it has aged well despite the Philifiers/rock purists out there. It's also worth pointing out that he plays every instrument on the album.
