I knew almost all of these songs. I hadn't realized that they are all on this debut album.

Peter Gabriel "So" came out when I was 16. And songs like In Your Eyes were iconic at the time. But at the same time, I was never a huge fan of this album. I always thought it was kind of cheesy and overwrought. The song Don't Give Up with Kate Bush. Is one of my least favorite songs in the history of music. And listening to it now. It hasn't gotten any better. Definitely feel like it is extremely dated.

Solid. Full of classics. Lacking variety.

Great stuff. Surprised by the Pink Floyd vibes

I don't know how I missed this album in 1999. It should have been right in my sweet spot. So glad to First hear it in 2025. Songs like I see a darkness, and death to everyone are true highlights, but the whole album is great straight through. Definitely a true musician's musician in the class of Tom waits, Leonard Cohen and the other great storytellers.

Decent, but doesn't stock up against pure heroin

Common People is one of the best songs of the 1990s hands down. 5/5 as a song. Unfortunately the rest of this album is pretty mediocre. A few songs that flirt with four stars, a few songs that flirt with two stars. Overall, this has to be 3/5 as an album.

Legendary debut

4.9 out of 5. Only so I can leave room for Gish to score higher

Listened to this all the way through 2 times. First listen it just made no sense as a Beach Boys album 2/5. Listened again as if it were an album by just any unknown band. Still terrible. Lyrics sound like a 5th grader. Vocals are weak and scattered. Music is forgettable.

This album rips! Short, fast, and hard. It's a 4+. The only reason I can't round up to 5 is that would put it equal with albums that did it earlier and better, especially PJ Harvey Rid of Me. Dig Me Out very much feels like it was trying to recreate Rid of Me. And who wouldn't want to?! It comes up slightly short in a few ways. First, PJ already did it so it lacks the originality factor. But the real reason is that it just doesn't have the same vocal powerhouse. This is an album I would definitely listen to over and over again. I just can't quite get it five-star iconic status.

Chill and eclectic. Some of it's really good, others not so much.

Undeniably a bold and groundbreaking album. Bohemian Rhapsody alone makes this legendary. But with that said it has a lot of misses too. I appreciate the egalitarian nature of this band to allow other members to have their own songs on this album. But when you have one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music, it just wastes space not track to have him on every track

Waiting on a sunny day= good! Nothing man = very good Worlds Apart = very good! African rhythms actually work and the guitar rips. Some songs generic and overproduced

Police at their early, simple finest

Better than expected. Some really good songs. Morrison still drags it down somewhat

I really dislike this style of music anyway. Country twanged folk. But I really truly tried to be objective, and gave it a listen all the way through. It actually made me like it less. The only thing that makes this genre of music. Wes is when it has self- indulgent lyrics. Wich this has throughout. After hearing the first song, I decided I would give it a three-star neutral review just so I wouldn't unfairly move the needle based on personal taste. But after giving it a true lesson, it's two stars. Also, it's way too long. 14 songs is probably two times too many
