Oh... I don't think i've gotten into any of his albums which followed So but It'd be fun to see him on tour before he retires.

At the beginning I was very ambivalent about this strategy, and now that the tour has started with the new songs, the anxiety only increases to hear them in their final versions. But at the same time, with these month-to-month releases, I pay much more attention to each song and each version. And for a veteran of his type, that's great in the age of streaming. And like it or not, it matters. The coverage he receives is also greater, "there has never been so much talk about Peter Gabriel as there is now". What still leaves doubts, obviously, is how the end of all this will be, the physical release of this album also has to be something very grand, since it would be the culmination of this campaign.

I've been waiting for this album for well over decade. I'm trying very hard to not listen to any of the singles until the full album has been released.

 

I loved Up, and I hope I/O will live up to my expectations.
