"No Reply at All" is a song by the English rock band Genesis, released as the lead single in the US from their eleventh studio album, Abacab (1981).
[1] The US single release edit omits the second verse of the song as it appears on the Abacab album.
The song marks a step toward the mainstream pop direction Genesis was taking at the time, yet it still contains elements of their past: complex, melodic bass riffs, and a cross-hand technique on a Prophet-5, similar to the style used for the intro to "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", from their 1974 studio album of the same name The song was released as the first single from Abacab in the US, and reached the US Top 30 in the fall of 1981.
Record World praised "Michael Rutherford's playful bass figures and Phil Collins' inventive drumming.
When the horn part is prominent, it cuts to a different shot of the band – wearing hats, sunglasses, and jackets to conceal their identity – playing the trumpet, saxophone and trombone.
