I know I won't get any worthwhile replies here, but so be it... I love this album... it's a great one indeed... the production is excellent, and the songs are each very good, following Peter's usual method of a slow build-up... I really like The Barry Williams Show, which has one of the best chorus's I've heard in a while... Growing Up is also excellent, with a great groove, and REALLY good production... I Grieve is of course good, however I like the City of Angels version a bit better... |

i've only heard "The Barry Williams Show" so far, but thought it was great :D |

I think I heard him perform that song on Leno or something a few weeks ago, it was damn good. I downloaded Passion and a couple other Gabriel albums, liked them. Where is ''Solsbury Hill'' from, what album? |
||||||||
|

not sure, but |

D'oh! |

Whoa, some actually good posts... I didn't expect this... but yeah, Solsbury Hill is like one of my favorite songs in general... let alone Peter Gabriel songs... it IS my favorite Peter Gabriel song... I just love it... The song itself is on his first album, and is actually about his departure from Genesis I believe... but it's also on the Sixteen Golden Greats compilation which I own... |

Peter Gabriels has sucked for a long while...bordering on Phil Collins territory... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Up, Us, and Passion (his last three albums) are each fantastic, so I disagree! |
||||||||

maybe i'll have it on christmas, i don't know... i like what i've heard from it very much (even though some voices i had to get used to it). have you seen the video for 'barry williams show'? it's... weird, i'd say ugly (especially the way it was filmed) but still i watched it until the end... it's kind of insane, at the same time too realistic but at the end with all the blood... i don't know... it kind of disturbed me |

A friend who reviewed it compared it to "Aphex Twin & Massive Attack" which does sounds tempting... Is that description accurate?... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No...Up isn't really like them. But it is a great album...I hated at first, but now I love it. The words are also meaningful, too, which makes a nice change! |
||||||||
|

|
|
yea, this album is great, i highly recommend it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favorite tracks being 'darkness', 'growing up', 'my head sounds like that' and 'more than this'... the photographs in the booklet as beautiful as well... |
||||||||

I've never been much of a Gabriel fan myself, he has made some good music that I like though, but I hate that fucking Salsbory Hill song |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think 'barry williams show' is the best song of the album at all though. i like the stanzas, but i don't like the chorus. there are better songs on the album! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... on first listen i liked it (found it good, not amazing but good). on second listen, i liked it more... more on third... now 10 days after, i feel like it's a masterpiece! ' _ ' 'the drop' makes me feel so nostalgic... i can't listen to anything else right after it's finished... |
||||||||

|

|
|
whoa, people actually praising Peter Gabriel... very surprising here... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why is that suprising? He's recieved some praise every other time you've made a topic about him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he has? I don't know if I believe that... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont like him |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't like his new album, but I've been listening to his early solo stuff and it is GREAT. The first three self titled albums are fantastic. He's sexy. |
||||||||

Passion and Us are two of the most personal, and emotional albums I've ever heard... they just touch me personally like nothing else!! Those two albums are most of the reason I'm such a big fan! |
||||||||
|

|
|
are you doubting of our openmindness?!! ^^ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well no, just that I've never received much enthusiastic responses to any Peter Gabriel related message... |
||||||||

mi :) |

i don't like Sledgehammer... but otherwise i think he has many great songs (from what i've heard anyway). I've been meaning to listen to Up... i like the artwork already :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Up is great if you listen to it while driving alone at night, all the way through. "Drop" is *the* perfect ending track...Love it, I do! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i'm loving this album, just got it. On first listen my favourite tracks are Signal to Noise, Darkness and I Grieve. Think i might have to get some more of his albums, whats Passion like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ooooh, passion is nice... really intense listen I think... I like to think of it as a trip through darkness to find the light at the end of the tunnel... the reason I say that is because it is very dark and brooding throughout, but the last few songs really have an uplifting feel... it's all instrumental too, no singing... well, no lyrics anyways... there are lots of vocals, but it's just notes, not words... and it's kinda middle eastern music or something, although I don't think you can really narrow it down to one specific type of world music... but it definitely has a middle eastern feel... I think you'd like it! |

i'm a big Peter Gabriel fan, in fact he is just about how i got started in w/ music, but i had a listen to Up clips in Tower once and i didn't hear anything special about it. i just thought maybe he had been out of the game to long or something. did Daniel Lanois produce this one too? this opinion may not mean much though as i didn't like Beck, Sea Change clips at Tower either in the beginning. Big Time and Steam are some of the greatest songs of all time and Sledgehammer, there is just nothing like it in pop music, but The Barry Williams Show was just ok i thought. |

i like us. |
||||||||
|
|

Growing Up is good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Us is my favourite. Up (damn his two letter word album titles) is good but i think it didnt have the strength of his last 2 major albums. |
||||||||
|

i can recommend nursery cryme |
