Brilliance, his best since Security.  Personal favorites are "Darkness" and "I Grieve".

I have only three of his albums (3, So and Up) and Up is truly his best. At times bordering on masterpiece. I'm ordering "Us" today so I have four.

US is another polarized CD  ... I think its his best CD because its got so much emotion in places...

Very Good.......Gabriel's work will age well too, which speaks volumes for the music. Up IMO was a huge improvement on Us ( inconsistent). I just hope I/O will be worth the wait and a slight change in direction. I am afraid that all gabriel's side projects might just delay the next album. He is currently working on the Blue Ball project scheduled for release this year. I am looking forward to that too....

What's the big number off Up? I don't think I know that one...

In a way, you could say it got me into prog, but i can't say it's anything more than good. I can understand all of you who do, however, but there's something about it that ust doesn't click for me, maybe Gabriel's voice.. I greieve is great, though.

I like the album, but it's too downbeat for my personal tastes... great sound work, though, as usual.

There really is no big number from that album. It didn't get very much (if any) radio play. "The Barry Williams Show" was intended to be the big single, but it didn't fit along side of Linkin Park, and Pink. Besides, that's not really indicative of what the album really is. It's a dense affair, and takes a while to reveal itself. When it does, it is very good.

Fair cop; I wouldn't say that Steam is the most representative of "Us," I just wanted to know if I'd heard the album (I haven't, but I know that song. Quite amusing that).
