- I liked 'So' just fine, and I like this one a lot too. But with the
- exception of three tracks obviously designed to satisfied the hit-mongers,
- the music is much more brooding than that on 'So'; perhaps more reminiscent
- of 'Security' (another fine Gabriel album, BTW). As for sound quality,
- I didn't notice it to be bad at all.
-
- This album is taking longer to grow on me than did 'So' or 'Security',
- but in the long run that's probably good. Bottom line: Get it!
