It sure was a good decision to buy this one!

Review Score: (8/10)
I had already owned Peter Gabriel's "So" and "Us" before I decided to get this fine collection of his solo material, some of which I was familiar with. Besides "Sledgehammer", "Mercy Street", "Don't Give Up", "Red Rain", and "Big Time" (Where's "In Your Eyes", anyway?), all from "So", my other favorites are "Solsbury Hill", "I Don't Remember", "Shaking The Tree" itself, "San Jacinto", the new-for-this-collection "Here Comes The Flood", the particularly strange and bizarre-lyric-filled "Games Without Frontiers", and my absolute favorite "Shock The Monkey", albeit in edited form, as opposed to the version I heard on the radio. So, now, beside fellow Genesis veteran Phil Collins' "Hits" CD, this is a must for anyone's adult-contemporary collection. I'd recommend it heavily!
