…Calling All Stations… by Genesis

Calling All Stations is the fifteenth and final studio album by the English rock band Genesis, released on 1 September 1997 by Virgin Records. It is their only album recorded after drummer and lead vocalist Phil Collins left the group in 1996 which ended his 25-year tenure with the band. The remaining members, founding keyboardist Tony Banks and guitarist/bassist Mike Rutherford, decided to continue and write new music for an album. After an auditioning process throughout 1996, they chose Scottish singer Ray Wilson as Genesis's new lead singer. Calling All Stations was released to mostly negative reviews from music critics who chastised its lack of direction, though Wilson's presence was well received. It sold poorly in comparison to their earlier albums; it reached No. 2 in the UK and performed well in Europe, but it peaked at No. 54 in the US. This marked their first not to crack the top 50 there since 1973. "Congo", the first of three singles from the album, went to No. 29 in the UK. Genesis toured Europe in 1998 for the Calling All Stations Tour, avoiding the US altogether due to low ticket sales. The group disbanded at its conclusion before Collins returned in 2006 for the Turn It On Again Tour.
