orchestrations are so overblown, they sound like John Williams writing for a Spielberg movie. Those corny French horns on every damn song.

he so lacks humor these days. PG used to be avant-garde, now he seems obsessed with being ‘respected’.

Oh this is epic. The “My Body” cover is extraordinary. Delicious. I prefer it to the original – which I love as well.

This was a bold album Gabriel’s done. Who else could dare cover these songs? I’ve heard six of them so far, and they are radically different than the originals. He does Regina Spektor’s “Apres Moi” – stunning!

I’d say My Body is a Cage is my favorite track on the album. I also like the Bowie cover and I shared The Boy in the Bubble with my dad and he liked it.

My body is a Cage is epic. I think his interpretation is interesting, though I like Arcade Fire’s more.

Not sure how keen I am on him covering Street Spirit… it’s one of those songs that you just don’t cover!
