Anyone who knows anything about music needs to have and hear this album from start to finish. The music, the lyrics... OMG! Peter Gabriel so ahead of his time. Nothing here is left to random.

Must Buy Album for one song

Once again I am appalled at Apple Music for making people buy the whole album to get one song. Please explain to me why?
This is truly art worthy of MoMA induction!

It's fantastic! So is an essential addition to any 80's collection or serious collection of music. Nominated for Album Of The Year in 1987, So is Peter's masterpiece. Every song is excellent and you will feel his emotional voice throughout every song on the album. 'So' can actually change your life for the better (really). It's very inspiring!!! Pure art!

I love this album, but whoever wrote the desciption in iTunes has no idea what they're talking about. "Slegdgehammer" is a James Brown groove - hey have you ever listened to James Brown. Drum machines - there is a REAL DRUMMER on these tracks.
Album 5 stars .
iTunes description - Zero stars
Best of the Best

The live concert is worth hearing. Plus the remastering of the album is also good. I like his live albums, the songs become more open and not so perfect like the labored studio versions.
True musician

As a 46y old I remember the work situation in the 80s, manufacturing just fell out of American communities, ppl driving their foreign cars, buying Chinese crap that broke the first time you used it, we've turned to a service economy and the wages went with the manufacturing jobs to overseas production. Peter rocks in "SO" and it's still a great album. Some of these are all time greatest 100 hits, "in your eyes" "Salisbury Hill" and even "sledgehammer" the only song missing is "Shaking the tree" about women's rights, another classic with a most groovy track to accompany the ethics
Then, then there's "Biko" a song about Steven Biko, murdered by South African police during apartheid in 1977. The story goes they beat him so badly he had to be taken to hospital, it was a brutal 6 hr ride and he was pronounced dead when he arrived, he was an activist, a father, and a person, just like everyone else, murdered because of the color of his skin. It was a watershed moment and movement that eventually led to the end of white rule in the country.
That voice again

Is it perverse at times? Or is it something else? Hard for me to say. Of course one initially proceeds with ignorance into the lyrics, then later recoils slightly at the many innuendos, but further along we wonder if there was ever an innuendo or was it just a statement about how we think, a challenge to the intellectual failings of modern man. An excitation of ourselves and then a challenge to rise above those limitations in thinking and find a spiritual meaning beyond our instincts.
