"There is still a warmth and presence to vinyl that somehow makes it a more natural human companion. It is great to see a new generation learning the secrets of the grooves." - Peter Gabriel

Six years after earning his first blockbuster with the upbeat So, Gabriel finally delivered the subtle and shaded Us, and the 1992 LP benefitted from endless hours in the studio. Clearly, that great span of time indicates that Gabriel was obsessive in crafting the album. It's not just that the production is pristine, clean, and immaculate, writes AllMusic, it's that the music is, with only a handful of exceptions (namely, the "Sledgehammer" rewrite "Steam" and the fellatio ode "Kiss That Frog"), remarkably subtle and shaded. It's also not a coincidence that Us is, as Gabriel says in his liner notes, "about relationships," since the exquisitely textured music lets him expose his soul, albeit in a typically obtuse way.
