Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2007, 'Genesis 1983–1998' serves as a comprehensive anthology of the band's work following their transition from progressive rock pioneers to mainstream pop icons. This compilation highlights their chart-topping successes during the late '80s and '90s, including the peak of their commercial appeal with hits like 'Invisible Touch.' It comes at a time when the band had not released new material since 'Calling All Stations' in 1997, marking a reflective moment in their discography.
