Widely regarded as his most personal album, Both Sides was notable for the fact that Collins made it entirely on his own, his usual loyal collaborators such as producer Hugh Padgham, guitarist Daryl Stuermer, bassist Leland Sklar and the Phoenix Horn Section all being notable absences. Instead, Collins played all the instruments himself as well as taking care of the production duties. For the first time, Collins wrote sleeve notes explaining the meaning of each of the songs on the album.

At its release the album was met with a lukewarm reception, being criticised for its over reliance on slow, dark, and downbeat songs although it went Platinum in the US(selling over a million copies in the US). The dark, melancholy style of Both Sides -- a return to the style of his early albums Face Value and Hello, I Must Be Going! -- was due to the fact that the album chronicled the breakup of his second marriage to Jill Tavelman. Face Value is the title of Phil Collins debut solo album, released in February of 1981. ... Hello, I Must Be Going! is an album by Phil Collins, released in 1982 (1982 in music). ...
