  Peter Gabriel - Us
Peter had originally planned a project based on inmates on Death Row, but had changed plans for the album following the break up of his marriage and subsequent relationships, forcing him into therapy and giving him a chance to explore himself.
“Us” was actually my introduction to Peter Gabriel’s music back in 1993 - when the fantastic videos for Digging in the Dirt and Steam caught my eye – never had I seen song videos of this calibre and certainly nothing quite so interesting, fascinating and entertaining.
Only Us boasts some wonderful worldly atmospheres and mystical lyrics, and the short but passionate Washing of the Water is a song that never fails to move me. The album closes with Secret World, a wonderful and emotional song, which has since become a live favourite.

 Peter Gabriel US tour 2003
After the vocal introduction, Peter reaches his position standing behind the keyboards, Ged Lynch is back behind the drums, Richard Evans sits in the middle of the stage where he is lightened up when he plays the flute, and the rest of the band sits on the front edge of the stage playing or singing.
Peter walks to the center of the stage and seats on a bench, changing his position several times during the song – sitting in front of the audience, sideways, backwards – while Melanie sings standing on the right next to him.
Peter dances and jumps in it as usual and gets to knock down Tony Levin, which finishes the song playing first laying down on the ground and then sitting down on the stage, surrounded by blue lights.

 peter gabriel: us
Peter spent much of the late 80s and early 90s studying his relationships and Love to be Loved benefits from his new found sensitivity and perspective on this often delicate area.
Where before Peter has relied on the creation of a character or a mask to explore this darkness (see Intruder, Lead a normal life, or even the nastier characters from The lamb Lies Down on Broadway), here the masks are down and darker aspects of the man emerges.
Another contrast is where Gabriel cleverly chooses to humanise his bastard, allowing a violent screaming rage ('I told you, I told you...!') to fly wildly into confusion fear and insecurity ('...stay with me I need support'), in much the same way as his assassin did on Family Snapshot.

If anyone but Peter Gabriel does this song most would enjoy it, but because he dares to think like you or I that is a bad thing.
Peter Gabriel has never been happy to rest on his laurels and produce mediocre material, something that few of his contemporaries could boast.
Peter Gabriel has never been one to rush out albums, but he took his time in releasing the follow-up to his 1992 album US (which in turn was a follow-up to Gabriel's megahit 1986 commercial breakthrough SO).

Since his departure from Genesis, Peter Gabriel has crafted a very successful career blending his slight, anguished voice with studio sorcery and a bevy of world-music influences.
Gabriel totally wears his heart on his sleeve with these songs, which may have irked some listeners, but not me. "US" is a Peter Gabriel album that's very close to my heart, because I can certainly relate to what he's singing about on it.
US is Gabriel's weakest album, and though it's not a bad album, I would recommend that you investigate some of Gabriel's other albums first.

 Peter Gabriel
The first solo album by Peter Gabriel is not a masterpiece, as you perfectly say; but we know that the passage from the leadership of a famous group to a solo carrier is always painful.
Peter also contributes his best vocal performance of the album, both in singing and in his lyrics (which I guess are about being in a rain of blood, perhaps after a heavy battle or something like that).
Yet Peter doesn't seem to be aware of that, as he presents a snide, vitriolic attack on the premise of the show, acting as if the comical farce is a serious affair.

 Peter Gabriel US SACD Review
Peter Gabriel was unquestionably a star when he was the frontman of the art-rock incarnation of Genesis in the mid-to-late 1970s, but it was his 1986 album SO that truly solidified his position as a household name in rock and roll pop culture.
There were a number of hit songs on US, including the aforementioned “Digging in the Dirt” and “Kiss That Frog.” With somewhat of a hip-hop beat and a more up-tempo grove, “Kiss That Frog” lifts the dark mood of US towards the end of the record.
Gabriel is quite a talent in terms of being a musical storyteller and US has some complex and compelling stories to tell.

Peter Gabriel is just trying to suck more money out of your pocket without any value added in return.
The thing that in my opinion makes US a little better than Both Sides is that while US has very similar themes to Both Sides, US has warmth and a bit more depth where as while Both Sides is also an amazing album it sometimes is a bit cold and dreary in atmosphere.
Overall in fact, I think that US is actually brighter and less ominous than SO and while I think UP is a bit more consistent, US has some warmth, and joy that is mostly missing off that dark masterpiece.

 Review - Peter Gabriel: Us and So
Together, Peter Gabriel's albums Us and So are the perfect union of 80s adult contemporary and art rock.
A founding member of Britain's Genesis, Gabriel's sound is that of an evocative and emotional man constantly navigating the state of love and trust.
The concept behind the album, cited by Gabriel as his dedication to relationships, is much more personal and cohesive.

 Us by Peter Gabriel CD
Released in 1992, US was long-awaited to say the least.
It was not the commercial smash that SO was; instead it was Gabriel's most personal and introspective work.
In the years after SO, Gabriel's marriage broke up and he went into analysis, which he addresses on "Digging in the Dirt." In the past, Gabriel wrote songs in the guise of various characters and invoked epic themes, but here even with exotic rhythms and eclectic influences, Gabriel was grounded in the real world.

It's hard to stack any one Peter Gabriel album up against another, because each of them is born of different inspiration, and the sounds utilized on each of them are wildly different.
Gabriel's fascination with the regional sounds he compiled into the Passion album is still with him.
The album was inspired by Gabriel's group therapy experiences following a painful divorce, and many of the songs speak of the consequences and recovery from hurtful or otherwise less than ideal relationships.

 Nude as the News: Peter Gabriel: Us
Us is not the opus one would expect as a followup to So (with only the soundtrack album Passion in-between), but it is a very good thematic album about relationships and sexuality infused with an interesting mix of instruments and styles.
Gabriel produced the album and incorporated, in hiswords, "extra brainstorming" with production guru Brian Eno, whose influence can be clearly heard throughout.
While most of the songs on Us take a serious approach to sex and relationships, "Kiss That Frog" is a tongue-in-cheek departure based on a popular fairy tale.

 Peter Gabriel - US - CD Review - Classic Rock
Peter Gabriel wrote this group of songs after divorcing his long-time wife, and also breaking up with a subsequent girlfriend.
In Come Talk to Me, the rock jazziness to the song almost makes you forget just how angst-filled his plea is - he's trying to make it lighthearted, but he desperately wants his lover to come work this out with him.
But again, this isn't pop-culture with Someone saying "I wanna kiss!!" It Gabriel bringing in more of his water metaphors, and trying to say that love doesn't have to be about a pretty face - that someone should take a chance with him, warts and all, to find happiness.

All About US is an interesting foray into the thinking and some of the technology that lies behind the most popular tracks from US and their accompanying music videos.
Perhaps most intersting in this video is the backgrounding given by some of the artists comissioned to create works of art based on each track of the album (we have the complete set on the Secret World tour poster hanging on our hall wall).
Seeing the way that Gabriel has merged the artistic concepts of both his music, lyric, and the artistic interpretations into the completed music videos demonstrates the multi-layered meaning and message of his works.
