Invisible Touch was a 1986 album by Genesis, one of their most commercially successful pop albums. The album itself got generally favorable reviews from critics and had two number one hit singles and a widely acclaimed video for " Land of Confusion ", featuring the Spitting Image puppets, for which Genesis won the MTV Video of the Year award.
The band structured the album to appeal to both newer and older Genesis fans, with radio-friendly pop singles like "Land of Confusion" and the title track appealing to pop fans, and longer tracks like "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" and "Domino" aimed more towards fans of the band's prog style of the 1970s. The strange instrumental "The Brazilian" showed the band had not lost its willingness to experiment. The lyrics on this album are among Genesis' rare attempts at social and political commentary, with "Domino" evoking nightmarish nuclear war scenarios and "Land of Confusion" commenting satirically on the political turmoil of the Reagan/ Thatcher/ Gorbachev era.
