Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 1993, 'Both Sides' was Phil Collins' fourth solo studio album and came after the commercial success of 'But Seriously' (1989). At this point, Collins was transitioning from his peak commercial era into a more introspective phase, focusing on personal themes rather than chart-driven hits. This album marked a significant shift as he ventured deeper into emotional narratives and personal reflection.
