Peter Gabriel

Us

my favourite studio LP from Gabriel

Review Score:

(10/10)
now i'll tell ya the truth. i'm 14 years old and my family likes totally different music than me. but one band we do share interest in is Genesis. my family loved Phil Collins' era in Genesis and i do too. but i was the one to show them the works of Peter Gabriel. i find that Peter Gabriel can say all those things that we people find hard. in songs like "love to be loved" you find a desperate man who just wants to be needed like everyone else. now i perfer the live version of "blood of eden" just because the sound quality is better. but i find that "washing of the water" is one of Gabriel's most soothing tracks...and then you get "digging in the dirt". all you so called "fans" who bash him 'cos the sound is sloppy. i say shame on you. you should know that's how he wanted it to sound 'cos it's a very mean,angry, and sluggish song about pain and murder. i love the live version of "kiss that frog" but the studio version was a disappointment. it just doesn't have that charisma or fun feeling like the live one does... and then you come to the finale of the album "Secret World"...this is one of my favourite tracks from Gabriel. i recommend that you listen to this version before you hear the live version because the live version will blow you away. but there is just so much emotion in this record and in these songs.....and by the way for you that don't like "steam". i say that track is awesome. both live and on the studio album.

but my favourite Gabriel track of all time is and will always be "i grieve".....where's the new album Peter ?
