Richard Kirstel; Paul Thorel; Michal Rovner.\u003cbr\u003eThough much effort has obviously been put into the sonic details of UP's production, and to fine effect, the album seems to represent not so much a new direction for Peter Gabriel, but rather a consolidation of the styles he's mined in preceding years. For instance, the opening track \"Darkness\" combines the dark, tension-filled paranoia of Gabriel's third self-titled album with the positive, seemingly therapy-derived lyrical direction of US's \"Digging in the Dirt.\" Similarly, the heartworn emotionality of \"No Way Out\" brings to mind US's \"Red Rain,\" but adds some slinky spy-movie guitar lines.\u003cbr\u003eWith a decade passing since his last album of new songs, Gabriel clearly has much to say, and accordingly most tracks hover around the seven-minute mark and are filled with sophisticated, enticing touches in an agreeable electronic\/organic blend. With nothing to prove anymore, Gabriel sounds appropriately unconcerned about commerciality, as the only thing that comes within shouting distance of an \"accessible\" track is the TV-sensationalism parody \"The Barry Williams Show,\" whose length and gritty lyrics make it an unlikely candidate for the top 40. In the end, UP is the sound of a mature artist pursuing the perfection of his craft, giving little thought to anything but the realization of his distinctive artistic vision.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45864173633823,"sku":"180030000741","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/8d04f779621d75e09f2c216959abb343.jpg?v=1777671039","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/up-3","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
