I've been listening to Gabriel's Big Blue Ball album recently, and want to know what you guys think about it. I really like it, especially the songs that he wrote or performed himself. I really think that he just gets better and better as a songwriter (I love 'Down to Earth', the song that he made for the film Wall-E as well!) I don't like the song Jijy, but other than that I think the album is really good. So what do you guys think? ------------- . |

| For all the hype that went with, it didn't move me that much. His stuff was definitely the pick of it though. |

Great album, certainly a grower. I also think that Karl Wallinger who co-collaborated the album is hugely underrated and it is also his creative input that ensured this album finally got released.
Very much a new world feel but great songs with PG, Joseph Arthur, Karl Wallinger and the rest giving it their all. Enjoying it! ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

I don't know about the album, but I heard "Whole Thing" on the radio the other night, and just downloaded it (oops). I'm going to buy it next chance I get. I swear I must have listened to it 15 times today. It's just addicting! Me and bunch of local music friends are actually getting together to do a Big Blue Ball type thing, hopefully it won't take us 15 years to release any material. |

He's got big blue balls, no trouble at all. I thought Jijy was OK. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I wasn't very impressed by it but I kinda liked Gabriel stuff on the album, I didn't care that much about the rest. I love the Down to earth song though.

Man, one would really raise an eyebrow over the title of this thread.  I haven't heard that much about it, but didn't somebody say it's got a ton of other artists doing their own material? E -------------

| I listened to it once and I was very dissapointed. I didn't read the credits so I was left with the impression that there is no Peter Gabriel music on that record. |
