Having always heard something in the back of my life about the band "Genesis" I've had a passing understanding that Peter Gabriel was a deeper musician, but like everything I understood as a child, nothing hit me till adulthood. And always hearing "Games Without Frontiers" I always appreciated the song, never did I really enjoy it.

When I finally broke down and bought the album, only then did I appreciate the treasure that was before me. The beginning tracks are great, but what really caught me with a fury was the track "I Don't Remember". "Where did this fury come from to me?" there was an aggression in this song about breaking off to me, like a clean break, that tries to fray at the ends for a stupid cut.

After having drove so many stupid circles in southern California, doing so many mindless jobs I heard "And Through The Wire"  did I hear what my life should say. There is some kinda love through all the hate and stupidity, there is some kind of love that I can't understand.

At the of this madness that I speak I have to give all the respect to the cornerstone track "Games Without Frontiers" the track that got my attention. There are so many notes and references in this track that scare me about the future.

There is something that is still trying to break out in this album after all the anger and striped down emotions of the 90'a there is something more in this album what is poisoning this new generation.

So with that I will say Pass it on because there are so many fucking albums and songs that should be heard.... btw Thanks to my friend Julian for pushing me into Peter Gabriel
