Cultural Facts:

1. Studio Lore: Abacab was recorded at the band’s own studio, The Farm, giving Genesis more freedom to strip things down and chase a sharper 80s sound.
2. Notable Myths: The title came from an early arrangement map of the song’s sections, labeled A, B, A, C, A, B, before the final version changed shape.
3. Media Narrative: The album helped split old-school prog fans from the new MTV crowd, with Genesis leaning into shorter hooks, brighter drums, and stranger pop textures.
