So far last important Peter Gabriel album!

Proud six years it took Gabriel's most commercially successful album "SO (1986) to be followed by a successor (leaving aside from the way, very ingenious instrumental soundtrack album" Passion "(1989) from) .With" us "he was the enormous success of" So "not quite wiederholen.Er Association here the World Music of Passion with the pop / rock of So.
First falls on the tracks größtenteis very long (the first 5 songs average every 6 minutes) The first edition of 1992 also suffered under it that the sound relatively excessive and mushy had what no longer falls on the remastered version ns weight but .I remember when I read the CD on 22 September 1992 for the first time heard I was initially disappointed that I found quite simple if not uninspired many songs from the chord progressions and melodies (Only Us, Love to be loved, for example)
Gabriel sings a lot about human relations.
With the funky single "Steam" succeeded the "little brother" of his About Hits Sledgehammer 1986, Digging In The Dirt was probably the biggest single from the album, funk, rock, fast, in the massive percussive warm Opener Come talk to me and beautiful soft ballad Blood of Eden he sings a duet with Sinead O Connor (Goosebumps guaranteed) Finally Gabriel comes again with a very large number around the corner Secret World (live classic race / but with seven minutes about length)
Highlights: Digging in the dirt, Secret World, Come talk to me, Blood of Eden, Steam!
Weak points: Only Us, Love to be loved the rest is average I forgive 4 Sterne.Das my opinion PREVIOUSLY last relevant Peter Gabriel album
