uke became the trio's first UK #1 album, while broadening their US audience
even further, reaching #11 there and going Gold immediately and eventually
Platinum.

Duke is regarded as a transitional Genesis album, incorporating both elements
of dense and elaborate instrumentation associated with the band's 1970s era
material and glimpses of their future 1980s pop melodies and hooks. It's
therefore become regarded as the album where many Genesis fans would
draw the line between the "old" and "new" Genesis. Duke showed both sides
of the band's music, containing both short radio-friendly pop tunes (e.g.
"Misunderstanding") as well as lengthy progressive rock suites (e.g. "Duke's
Travels"). Hence, Duke enjoys the anomaly of being simultaneously regarded
as either the band's last progressive outing or their first pop-oriented
release.

Duke came on the heels of solo albums by Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford.
Phil Collins had departed to Vancouver with his first wife to try to salvage
their failing marriage. With the group's future uncertain, Rutherford recorded
Smallcreep's Day while Banks issued A Curious Feeling. When Collins' marriage
finally ended, he rejoined the group, bringing a batch of introspective new
songs. Most of these made up his solo Face Value album when released in
early 1981, but two of them, "Misunderstanding" and "Please Don't Ask,"
were donated to Duke.

Once Duke was released, the song "Turn it on Again" became the band's
second UK Top 10 hit, while "Misunderstanding" made considerable strides in
the US, reaching the Top 20, and providing growing songwriter Phil Collins
with his first self-written hit. "Turn it on Again" (whose music was written by
the group, with Mike Rutherford contributing the lyrics) has an
unconventional time signature of 13/8.
