Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following the massive success of 'So', Peter Gabriel delivers a deeply personal, highly introspective art-rock album exploring the fallout of a divorce. 'Us' masterfully layers eclectic worldbeat rhythms and atmospheric downtempo pop into a profoundly melancholic, passionate, and sentimental sonic experience.
