Peter Gabriel

So

SO amazing!

Review Score:

(10/10)
This album still haunts me even after nearly 18 years after first buying it on record waaay back in 1986.

"So" is easily my favorite album of his and it's clear why. This is his most sophisticated and most mature work of his and is almost like seeing a light after the darkness explored on the two previous albums "Security" and "Peter Gabriel 3". The music is a lot more accessible and much more digestable.

"Sledgehammer" is a classic that is very suggestive in it's nature but most will not notice it's devious nature. Still, it's a really funny song with a great video to go with it.

My favorite is "Red Rain". Man, this song is just amazing! I love the intense and passionate melody and the stormy feel to it.

"In YOur Eyes" is pure bliss.

The rest of this album is no less amazing and the remastering is just incredible. The songs that were great already sound even clearer and sharper in the remasters. The only thing I despise is putting "In Your Eyes" in the end. This is one of his greatest songs but why reshuffle the tracks?

That's the only flaw this album has.

Still, the remastered edition is worth getting but don't go for the "Limited Edition" digipak edition though.
