UP

This album have everything you are looking for in pop music: great choruses, cool bass lines, non-typical structures, not too much repetitive, strong voice, groove, an awesome use of keyboards and a totally correct (and non-plastic) production. Peter Gabriel's Up is without a doubt one of his best albums along with his first 6 albums and his epic soundtracks. A great and perfect album, and, why do I mean by perfect? Every song and the listen itself it's just good, excellent or perfect; the order, the connections among songs surgically worked. It's laughable that some prog purist (nothing but closed-minded people that thinks Prog must be pretentiously complex and easy to listen) argue that prog and pop can't be mixed, at first they hate on 80s Genesis and claim Peter Gabriel as a god, then they realize Peter Gabriel put strong and awesome pop albums and probably put some hate on them when there's nothing to do with. Prog purist can say anything they want, nobody cares that they can't adapt to the modern music or its evolve. This Peter Gabriel effort it's totally a 10/10 because of creativity, musically powerful, with great presence and memorable.
