Peter Gabriel's Magnum Opus!!

Review Score: (10/10)
To say this album is excellent does not do it justice. ALL the songs are excellent, whether they were "hits" or not. This is arguably Peter Gabriel's best album, and undeniably one of the greatest albums of all time, right up there with Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, Dark Side of the Moon, Band On the Run, Exile on Main Street, Rumours, et al. This record (yes, I mean vinyl) was permanently on my turntable during my senior year in college in 1986, shortly after its release. I never got tired of listening to it. I later bought the CD but still have the vinyl record. Thirteen years later, the music on the CD still sounds as incredible as it did on the record back in 1986. A Classic in every sense of the word.
