Beautiful

Review Score: (10/10)
It has taken me awhile to appreciate this album as a whole, but it has been well worth the wait... this album is one my favorite albums, and everytime I listen to it it speaks to my soul... Peter Gabriel is a musical genious, always exploring new territory in his music, and always infusing his music with influences of the world, and he has a talent for writing a heart wrenching melody, but his true gift his his voice... The voice is the part of the music that speaks to the listener, and Peter Gabriels speaks directly to the soul... it is in my opinion the best voice in rock music today, and has made sure that I will always be a fan of his music... That being said, this album is good because each song is a masterpiece, not just because it's a Peter Gabriel album... The songs talk about something that we all can relate to, relationships... everytime I listen to it, it's like looking through a photo album, the memories just come flooding back... and that's a good thing... stand out tracks are Come Talk to Me, Digging in the Dirt, and Secret World (possibly the best song ever writen, in my opinion of course)... if you don't already own this one, you definately need to pick it up...
