Hello, I Must Be Going!

Phil Collins

A percussive, embittered exploration of divorce. Gated reverb drums meet Motown soul and dark synth-pop in a record that trades vulnerability for pure defiance.

Find on Amazon

The record where Phil Collins stops being sad about his divorce and starts getting even with his drum kit.

A sharp, percussive exhale of resentment and newfound independence.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The menacing, double-tracked drum entrance of I Don't Care Anymore that sets a tone of pure confrontation.
The sudden shift from the dark voyeurism of Thru These Walls into the bright, almost jarring Motown sunshine of You Can't Hurry Love.
The expansive, jazz-inflected instrumental sprawl of The West Side showcasing technical precision amidst the emotional wreckage.
