Customer Reviews

A Beautiful Calmness

This is an amazing album, through and through! It takes a little while to get into it (I honestly didn't care for it at first), but now I love it. Each song is so beautiful and bursting with emotions, and filled with lovely world influences and textures - "Come Talk to Me" even mixes electric guitar with bagpipes and african rhythms, an impressive feat. The songs are peaceful and uplifting, while also hauntingly sorrowful at times (a seeming contradiction, but this album seems to be full of interesting paradoxes). It's the kind of album you listen to while sitting on a sun-bathed porch, with no work to do, and just a light breeze brushing you. That may sound trite, but really, this album is moving and very tranquil and bitter-sweet. It's just amazing.

Best of Peter

I originally listened to this album on cassette tape, and fell in love with the themes of the songs as well as their composition. The album despite its pop-rock overtones conveys both a practical everyday story within the context of mythology.

Cohesive Vision

The challenge of creating a cohesive album is something Peter Gabriel always did better than most. "Us" is some of his finest work, with a broad soundscape of acoustic and electronic instruments and diverse voices, all mixed with striking detail and control. While these ten songs are all worthwhile taken separately, together they become a cohesive vision. The lyrics are the words of an outsider stepping into a world where he feels overwhelmed. I have my own strong suspicions of what Gabriel was trying to convey, but I suppose it's up to the listener to make up her/his own mind, so I won't try to nudge you in any particular direction. Nonetheless, these lyrics and ideas are intensely human, and for a brief time you're drawn into a different, and I suppose "Secret World"--the title of the final track. Like any worthwhile music, give this some time to make its connections in your mind and soul. Once you "get it," you'll never let go.

Biography

Born: February 13, 1950 in London, England

Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

As the leader of Genesis in the early '70s, Peter Gabriel helped move progressive rock to new levels of theatricality. He was no less ambitious as a solo artist, but he was more subtle in his methods. With his first eponymous solo album in 1977, he began exploring darker, more cerebral territory, incorporating avant-garde, electronic, and worldbeat influences into his music. The record, as well as its two similarly titled successors, established Gabriel as a critically acclaimed cult artist, and...
