Best 80's Pop album; iTunes still needs to catch up
by Mr.Smiley4"So" is the best pop album of the 80's. A major depature from his previous efforts like "Birdy", "Security" ("Peter Gabriel 4"), and "Melt" ("Peter Gabriel 3"), So captures the listener with its layered and catchy music that's accesable for anyone. Peter's combination of synthesizers and unusual instrumentation (most notably Tony Levin's crazy bass line throughout the whole album) was unlike anything else at the time. Many PG fans dislike this album and the subsequent album "Us" claiming that they're "too bright", "too pop-y", or "too mainstream". I disagree. While So has some bright songs (mainly the hits like "Sledgehammer" or "In Your Eyes"), it has many dark songs like "Don't Give Up", "Mercy Street", and "We Do What We're Told". Heck, even songs "Red Rain" and "Big Time" have bright instrumentation but dark lyrics.
One more complaint (though not directed at So) is that iTunes doesn't have PG's entire discography up. Only "So" and "Melt" are up at the moment. What's up with that? Is it something about music rights? PG has 5 other studio albums and 4 movie soundtracks. Please add them!
One of the best albums of the era
by DoubleThicknessThe best album of the synth genre, Peter Gabriel demonstrated how to extract emotion from early electronica. Sounds are deep and complex, and the rhythms carry the song without being intrusive. Over it all, the lyrics are haunting, but evoke emotions and memories in all of us. Don't Give Up and Mercy Street are two of the best songs you'll never hear from the Sledgehammer artist.
One of the best albums i have ever purhcased
by masternate62Fantastic album, should be on anyones greatest albums list. Hidden gems are Mercy Street and That Voice Again. One purchase you will not regret. Remastered is an added touch.
