So is often regarded as Gabriel's best album, as well as one of the best albums of the 1980s. It enabled Gabriel to transform from a cult artist, acclaimed for his cerebral, experimental solo work, into a mainstream, internationally known star. [93] Rolling Stone placed So at 187 (2003 edition) and 297 (2020 edition) on its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and at 14 on its 100 Best Albums of the 1980s, noting that "despite its mass appeal, however, So also presented compelling challenges." [94] [95] [96] Stereogum placed it at number one on its list of Gabriel's best albums, writing, "Peter Gabriel's fifth studio album is a mesmerizing dichotomy: simultaneously hooky and experimental; timeless, yet completely crystallizing its moment in history... It's a masterpiece. [97] Easlea, Daryl (November 2012). "Peter Gabriel – So: Immersion Edition". Record Collector (407). Archived from the original on 21 June 2016 . Retrieved 29 August 2016. But once you look past the bombast of Sledgehammer (Gabriel's biggest hit, which pushed Genesis' Invisible Touch off the US No.1 spot), you notice how easily its artful ideas slipped inside the 80s mainstream. Before its well-known salvo of sexual euphemisms, the song begins with a sampled Japanese flute, and a horn figure inspired by John Coltrane. Remastered edition of the classic Peter Gabriel album, released to mark its 25th anniversary. Originally released in 1986, So became one of the defining albums of the era and landed an international array of multi-Platinum certifications. It includes the iconic hit "Sledgehammer". Review
