Album Notes
Solo performer: Phil Collins (vocals, various instruments).Includes liner notes by Phil Collins. BOTH SIDES was recorded at Phil Collins' 12-track home studio. All four of Phil Collins' '80s albums were enormous commercial successes, with a plethora of hit singles and videos. However, by 1993, when his first post-Genesis solo album, BOTH SIDES, was released, there had been a few major shifts in popular music, and it was the first of Collins' solo records not to see much in the way of chart action. This was not unexpected, but it's rather a shame, since the album continues the more mature, low-key sound first developed on 1993's BUT SERIOUSLY. Less somber than that album but still maintaining its quiet grace, BOTH SIDES is filled with solidly composed, well-played (Collins plays all the instruments, for the first time since 1981's FACE VALUE), and melodically rich songs. Collins' lyrics delve further into the social commentary arena than even those on BUT SERIOUSLY, and perhaps it's the relative lack of characteristic love songs that accounted for the album's lack of commercial success, but this is an album which deserved better than it got.

Editorial Reviews
...BOTH SIDES eschews the glib pop cheer of Collins' most radio-friendly work in favor of a lean, low-key sound...it may not be his most obvious and accessible album, but it's definately among his most satisfying....
Musician (12/01/1993)

3 Stars - Good - ...Most of BOTH SIDES' melancholy yet seductive ruminations eyeball the uncertainties of relationships with an appealingly ruthless sympathy...

I liked the song "Can't turn back the years", I first heard the remix by Joe but wanted to hear it from Phil Collins.
