Reviews (page 8 of 8)
“Solsbury Hill” is a fantastic song, but the album overall feels a bit less substantial than the ones I’ve reviewed so far.

Did not enjoy this
so ass bro
Not my thing at all
Awful, how is this on the list, maybe was cool in 70s but only 1 good song
Not my taste
This art rock album is strikingly eclectic, with sharp guitar riffs, moody keyboards, and dynamic percussion shaping atmospheric arrangements that shift between angular intensity and brooding introspection, while the vocals deliver a theatrical mix of urgency, vulnerability, and sly detachment. Unfortunately this falls apart as an album for me although it has interesting parts.
What even is this… no way not happening!
Awesome singer, bizarre album
I did not like this. Far to up its own arse.
Listening to "Excuse Me" as I type this. Please make this stop. Okay second half of the album was MUCH better. Enjoyed the piano but some of the songs were just too bad to be redeemable imo.
Classic Peter Gabriel. Every song sounds the same and is pretentious. Just like his Genesis bandmate, Phil Collins, there are no sharp edges or wrinkles to his music. This is an all-skips album.
Sorry but his voice is my ick
Cannot get on board
Just so shit. It was hard to power through
Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins sound identical to me. I can't stand either of them. This solo Peter Gabriel album did not change my opinion.
Sorry Pete
1 star for Salisbury Hill
This is weird and strange, fitting for an ex genesis member. Fucking hate the song Solsbury Hill. Don’t really enjoy many of the rest
This was somehow simultaneously really boring and also zany and full of too many ideas in each song. This more folky prog but bluesy rock and roll and also symphonic stadium rock (again there's too much going on in this record) stuff isn't my thing. Solsbury Hill sounds like one of the sample songs that comes with Windows XP/Vista to demonstrate how the visualizer on Windows Media Player works. Sorry that's such a random observation. Then near the end it sounds like Star Wars theme music but with a white boy funk/arena rock lean. There is just too much going on and none of it is interesting. Only the last song (Here Comes The Flood) was tolerable to me. It sounded like a Bowie or Elton John song so that was fine. This album is so fucking stupid
So not my taste
Solsbury Hill Here Comes the Flood
Pretentious nonsense.
This album sounds like what it feels like to soak your balls in just below room temperature water
The shit run continues. I've had a few bad albums in a row, and this one is as bad as any of them. I already had one of his albums and gave that 2 stars .... after hearing this that other album now feels like it should have been rated higher. Utter horse shit. I could make better music than this.
Pretty shit. Only got 4 songs in but they were all pretty boring. Can’t give much more than 1star.
Pure shite
I hate his voice
Down The Dolce Vita was cool but the rest sucked.
Very self-indulgent. Didn't enjoy anything about this.
Solesbury hill sucks
Progemuusikon yritys vaihtaa poppiin. Ainakin viimeinen biisi on parempi kuin ensimmäinen.
Not a fan. I know Solsbury Hill (who doesn't?) which is ok (it's actually on my Spotify Liked Songs) - but nothing on the rest of the album made me take note... Personally I found it boring...
Very strange journey I just went on
I almost liked a couple of the songs on this album.
Maybe this album is good enough for a 2...but I found it hard to get through. 1.5.
Not a fan. Sounds like a throwaway Who record that never should have been made. Nothing that interesting and the odd switches in music just turned me off.
music with no art 1/5
Watched a documentary about the making of the cover, if only the music was as interesting
I have never listened to Peter Gabriel and this was a lot and not at all for me. This album doesn't feel very cohesive at all. Almost like the songs are from different mixes. It's weird. It has a hit everyone knows though I guess.
So boring....
not really that appealing to me
kinda bad tbh it feels like several attempts at the bad songs Paul wrote for the beatles 1.5
Actually really freaky sounding. this music makes me vvv anxious
Trist.
I went to Solsbury Hill once and it was shit.
indulgent as fuck and i can't just take to this. Appreciate this album is getting the brunt but there's whole swathes of indulgent english prog rocky shite from the late 60s to late 70s that i hate. God bless punk. Ha.
Track one is giving me the heebie-jeebies... Overall, album was boring more than creepy, but I struggled to get through it.
Definitely was not his best album
could not finish
Ehhhhh
whys he got his face that close to the window? he's gonna give it a lick isn't he. that would explain the state of this album.
An enchanted princess once warned me not to listen to Peter Gabriel. He had fingered her in a children's fable and she did not like it. Not one bit.
