Returning to the stark, melancholy sounds of
Face Value,
Phil Collins delivers a personal album with
Both Sides in more than one sense of the word.
Collins played all of the instruments on
Both Sides, and the songs are troubled, haunting tales of regret, romance, and society. Although
Collins has not lost his flair for melody, the songs are edgier than most of his recent work. Some fans might not go along with
Collins on this dark ride, but
Both Sides is one of his most artistically satisfying albums.
