Lyrical new ground

Review Score: (10/10)
Musically, "US" doesn't really break any new ground for Gabriel, but he enters new territory with some deeply confessional lyrics. Earlier in his carreer, Gabriel gave us tales of dejeted and sometimes monstrous characters. On "US", he gives us more of a look into his personality. "Love To Be Loved" and "Blood Of Eden" are among the best ballads he's penned yet. This album did not fare so well on the charts as compared to "SO" but overall, I feel it's a stronger effort. His output has been slow since the mid 80's. He's been working on an upcomming release for many years along with many side projects. It would not surprise me if he gives up touring now that he's entered his 50's. If he tours again, don't miss him. He puts on one of the finest live performances you'll ever see.
