iTunes Review
New Blood is the final piece of a conceptual trilogy that started with 2010’s Scratch My Back. On that orchestral project, Gabriel interpreted other songwriters’ works, implementing a “no drumkits, no guitars” aesthetic. Six artists he covered returned the favor; in a series of singles, each recorded a song from the Gabriel songbook. For 2011’s New Blood, Gabriel revisited his own history with the Scratch My Back approach. Stretching back to 1977 (“Solsbury Hill”) up through 2002 (“Darkness”), this album let Gabriel address his career through an early sixtysomething’s perspective and voice (singing and artistic). Subtle brass, woodwinds, strings, and a choir replace the pounding drums and tense guitars of “Intruder.” The piano at the heart of “Intruder” remains, but it’s set to a lush sea of strings instead of synthesizers, bass guitar, and tom-toms. Two Gabriel hits receive very different treatment, with “In Your Eyes” reimagined as a powerful overture and “Don't Give Up” (with Norwegian vocalist Ane Brun in the Kate Bush role) reborn as a chamber-pop triumph.
Customer Reviews
Come Down Gabriel...
It seems that it has become a cliche'. Our once "Rock Gods" of the airwaves have to take their classic hits and re-tinker with them through the tapestry of orchestration. It's like they have to recolor a picture they've already drawn with a new box of crayons. But there is a danger of taking away from the original image and the colors may run and images fade not being what it once was.
This concept is nothing new and has been done better. It's like once a song has reached this stage it means that it's time to go quietly into the ethereal retirement home.
Are there new depths defined, differentiated from the original compositions? Probably not. Perhaps if one were to suspend one's own disbelief one could find a faint hint of a new nuance intertwined within the familiarity taken from the original.
We've heard this all before. Well executed with some movements but overall I would have rather heard some new material from Peter Gabriel.
WOW!
…just WOW!
I am completely blown away by this!
Gabriel has completely re-imagined some of his greatest tracks and given them 'New Blood' with an orchestra. No guitars. Very little percussion. Vocally, PG is at the top of his game… sounding better than ever. Great stuff!
People have lost their minds!
The woman on Dont Give Up (one of the best tracks EVER recorded) sounds like someone's grandmother. This music has lost all of its soul and passion. Bad covers, poorly produced. Nothing reimagined here, just rehashed.
