Format:Audio CD
Peter Gabriel 3 is an astonishingly creative, intelligent and emotional collection of songs and atmospheres that has continued to inspire me for over twenty years. It could well be my favourite album of all time, and that includes ALL artists and ALL genres of music. From the dark and sinister opening of "Intruder" to the chant of "Biko" on the last track, every song on this album has substance, power and quality.

Musically, a wide range of styles are embraced with a number of contributions from other musical creative giants such as Paul Weller (punky thrashing guitar on "And Through The Wire"), Kate Bush (distinctive atmospheric backing vocals) and Phil Collins (crashing "gated snare" drum sound that was highly original at the time and an influence on much eighties music afterwards). PG 3 was recorded before Gabriel developed his "world music" sound. It has an incredible range of musical, emotional and lyrical dynamics not present in some of his later, more commercially successful (still excellent), albums.

Lyrically, Gabriel's haunting voice covers a massive range of basic human emotions here, many of them dark. Several tracks on this album can still make me cry even though I know them inside out. Other tracks have me bopping around like an idiot! Absolutely brilliant.

Fabulous! 1 Dec 2000
Format:Audio CD
This is a masterpeice of musicianship. Peter Gabriel is always great and with the addition of so many guests on this album, it truly is one of a kind. Robert Fripp's recognisable guitar playing on "I don't remember" is a joy and the wonderful "Biko" shows an indication of the world music Peter Gabriel loves. "Games without Frontiers" is just so much fun, but for my money, it's worth buying for "Family Snapshot" alone. 5 stars, no question.

Possibly Timeless! 1 Feb 2007
Format:Audio CD
Revisiting this album after many years I am struck how this album and the next one, really caught Peter Gabriel at his most innovative in terms of the technology he was experimenting with and importantly his most accessible music.Often when listening to an album you haven't listened to for many years the experience can be a disappointment, this album does not do this! It still sounds current and fresh today which is why I feel this qualifies it for 5 stars. If you have never heard Peter Gabriel before this is a good place to start and if you, like me, hadn't listened to this album since it was released then I think a revisit is in order.

A true classic
After Peter Gabriel left Genesis I felt his 1st 2 albums showed that he needed the group because there were filler songs on each. On this album there are no fillers. Read more

An important record
I can't say I like all the tracks, but I don't think I ever did. But what strikes me listening to the CD is just how important this record is in the history of rock/pop music. Read more

Meltdown
Peter Gabriel's third album remains his most overpowering, but at the time of its release was even more so, to the point of being frightening. Read more

Madness has a Reason
I remember reading a Gabriel interview in NME or Melody Maker at the time. He was suffering from a mental condition around the time the album was made. Read more
