i'm honestly really loving it. this is really hitting some sort of sweet spot that i've been looking to hit with rock music. about halfway through right now. just finished "And Through the Wire". really liked that song.

Melt along with Gabriel's other early albums are all streaming on Spotify now.

Digging in the Dirt is fucking sublime, especially the chorus when it gets all ethereal and he's just begging for support. A real heartbreaker.

The arrangements are super proggy, along the lines of his first solo album, but with much more modern sounds. Awesome headphone album.

I need to explore more Gabriel. All I know is that I love Tony Levin's work on the tracks I've heard.
