Peter Gabriel has been a mainstay in my record collection and in my life too since early 70's. Ever since Genesis, Peter has had a place with all my ups and downs in life. Liking his album because it is him, is something I don't do, every album has songs which I relate to. Now I'm terminally ill, ever song can have a different meaning for me. Superb album from a superb storyteller ❤❤❤❤
There are very few artists of his vintage able to produce quality writing like this, and deliver the songs with a voice that's barely diminished over all those years. Astonishing really.
It's refreshing to hear a review of the album that doesn't refer back (too much) to earlier work. Like the new Stones release a few months back, I was getting sick to death of critics harking on how it stood up to previous albums. The truth is, this late in the day, they're not going to, but both Gabriel and The Stones newest releases are both pretty good and lets just rejoice in the fact that both artists gave us something new in 2023....and a new Beatles single to boot. Kate Bush in 2024 anyone 🤞
I saw the IO tour earlier this year in Manchester. It was my 7th Peter Gabriel concert. This one blew me away like nothing I've ever seen before. It was a sensory overload, a feast of sound and vision. This new material is worth playing in full and is up there with his finest musical compositions. For me, Peter Gabriel is still creating optimal content and is not on the decline that many of his contemporaries are experiencing.
Gabriel's tour concert was indeed a tour-de-force. The audience seemed a bit lost at times as he first concentrated on the new material, but the old hits were woven in, came alive. Peter seems to grow stronger as the concert progressed, feeding off the crowd's energy. His graphic images were stunning and fit the music well. This was my first Gabriel concert and am very glad I attended.
“But Is it Any Good?” It is not good, it is Superb. As always PG delivers a well thought out and highly moving album. Good review. Wish I had seen the tour. Rock on!👏🏽
Very thoughtful, very well-spoken. This reviewer has taken the time and effort to carefully describe the messages inscribed in the 12 songs of I/O. Said album just might be for me a new favorite and possibly on the short list of my ALL-TIME greatest albums.
A man in a Motorhead shirt giving an in-depth review of a Peter Gabriel album is really what it's all about!🤘
I'm listening to this with high resolution streaming, and not only are the writing and performances both mature, yet accessible, but the production is nothing short of astonishing.
The album really clicked for me when I saw him live on the tour. The vinyl pressing sounds amazing
For an artist who's less than half a year younger than me, this is an astonishing album. No other singer/songwriter well into their 70s (or over 50, for that matter) comes within light years of PG. I listened to it today (while watching football with the sound off) and I'm absolutely floored by the sonic majesty of the proceedings. Eno and Levin are untouchable musicians. The sound is flawless, and I think it even tops the excellent aural art of So and Us that were landmarks of engineering in their day. Thanks for highlighting the lyrics because at my age it's harder than ever to make out all the words. Record of the century in my estimation.
I saw the tour in Berlin and the last show in Houston. The performance was dynamic. The band nicely organic, Peter still has his voice. The light show featured conceptual artists. Wonderful. The songs really came together live.
The tour for this album was fantastic, he was outstanding
Was able to see Gabriel in Vancouver he was really good played for 2 hours and 30 minutes, can’t wait to get a physical copy of I.o.
I was a huge Gabriel fanatic back in the day. Saw every tour (some more than once) from his first album in '77 up to
I had become disenchanted with I/O mainly because I caved and listened to most of the songs as they were released and most of that listening was on my computer speakers so I wasn't sonically moved by any of it. So being a lifelong PG fan from the early '70's I bought the 3 disc set and the fist listen on my home stereo system I was blown away by the sound especially the bottom end full and (almost) bottom heavy...nice it was like hearing for the first time 👍 My 2 favorite PG albums are UP and PG1, And very happy to hear on I/O he has continued with that wonderful layered sound full of texture and depth which requires your attention. I'm still puzzled by the differing mixes...what's that all about? But maybe someday I'll take the time to explore further, it will be time well spent. One last thing, I have never heard of touring without having a new release first that's bassackwards...a real head scratcher.
Although I was initially against the drip feed approach of releases I think it did actually make me listen to each track on its own merit and so when I eventually listened to the album in its entirety it was like greeting 12 old friends. Perhaps because of this I can't find any weak material on this album. One of his best.
This record is the most heartfelt, emotional musical journey of all time. Yes I said it, this One has touched me deeper than any piece of music in my 50 yrs of rocking on this Earth... and I have rocked my friends! I thank you Peter Gabriel, for this gift of sonic perfection you have bestowed upon me...
I saw Peter Gabriel recently in Vancouver. Hard to believe that after being a huge fan for so many decades, I had never seen him live before. I had not heard any of these songs before. But I thought they were just brilliant. There was one in particular - very heavy on the arrangement for string trio, that just amazed me. Now that the album is out, I really look forward to listening to it.
