Album #73: So by Peter Gabriel


1.  
Sound: A little bit of everything pop
Mood: Inconsistent
Important songs: Big Time, Don’t Give Up, Sledgehammer
Song You Must Hear: In Your Eyes
Quotes: “Long words.  Excellent words.  I can hear them now.”
   “And I pray to a big god as I kneel in the big church.”
Notes:  Gabriel explores every kind of uniqueness here, and difference is the mood of the album.  It is as if Gabriel was given a room full of music toys and he couldn’t decide which one, so he played with them all. And, somehow, every song is fantastic and the album, unbelievably, works as a whole.
