All right, thanks to those who helped me see Rabin's album actually is not really that good, and it's not just me. Here's another.
I've loved everything Peter Gabriel did with Genesis and solo, but there is no way I can get into this album. I've tried about five times; every time it just depresses me and leaves me shrugging my shoulders as to how an artiste of his calibre and undoubted talent could end up dropping a piece of crap (metaphor carefully chosen) like this?

Peter Gabriel --- Up

Note: prog haters stay away; I want to hear from people who know this album or know Gabriel's work, and appreciate it, or who are willing to listen to it with an open mind.

Although his last two efforts, Scratch My Back and New Blood really annoyed me, they are collections of orchestral versions of his songs so I don't quite count them as failed albums, and I wonder what new material he will come up with, but so far this is the only studio album of his that I cannot get into no matter how I try.

I don't understand the love for Massive Attack - Mezzanine. I always get like three tracks in and then I'm just bored and don't want to finish the thing. Why does that album get all the praise over Blue Lines which I find to be vastly superior and really awesome in general?

More like Lennon, Ono, and Heroin. Macca didn't have much to do with it. White album has some filler but there are way too many good songs to get it down to one disc (no need to do it for me as I'm sure some of you are willing). I like that there are classics like "I will" that are kind of deep tracks, as much as a Beatles track can be.

Hate to say it, but I think Ziggy is my fave Bowie, I have never dug deep but need to because I do love his stuff.
