Genesis is an eponymous album by Genesis and is their twelfth studio album,
recorded and released in 1983. Most fans, as well as the band themselves,
refer to this album as the "Mama" album. In some cases, notably amongst the
Genesis online community, it has been referred to as the "Shapes" album
because of the front cover artwork.

Building on the advancements of Abacab, Genesis (so named for the fact that
all three band members composed every song on it together for the first
time), was a further example of Genesis' evolution in the 1980s. The album
also marked the beginning of Hugh Padgham's formal production assistance
after engineering Abacab.

The drum machine, used to startling effect on lead-single "Mama", was
central to the song's atmosphere, and was responsible for further opening up
songwriting possibilities within the band. One of their most uncommercial
releases, "Mama," a song about a young boy's obsession with a prostitute,
became Genesis' biggest UK hit, reaching #4 upon release, although the song
tanked on the US singles chart.

Further successes "That's All" (which became the band's first US Top 10 hit),
"Illegal Alien" and "Taking It All Too Hard" ensured that Genesis was
well-received upon its release and it consequently reached UK # 1, while
making #9 in the US and eventually selling over four million copies there
alone.

Among fans, the album has a generally favourable, yet still mixed reputation.
