    In the end, the artists generally do masterful jobs exposing the power of Gabriel’s songwriting--their interpretations are all thoughtful and respectful. Covers albums are rarely essential--and this one isn’t perfect--but And I’ll Scratch Yours was certainly worth the wait.

    [Peter Gabriel's] chosen artists respond with excellent covers of Gabriel classics.

    Even though its origins are a bit unique, And I’ll Scratch Yours is still your garden-variety tribute album, subject to all of the perks and limitations that such projects tend to contain.

    Less ambitious than the album that spawned it, but a worthy companion piece nonetheless. [Nov 2013, p.71]

    The result is a slightly odd, somewhat disjointed response, and one that serves to highlight just how daunting it is to tackle a cover from the former Genesis frontman’s catalogue.

    While it’s a shame Radiohead and Bowie in the flesh couldn’t make it to the sessions, Gabriel’s concept fulfills its original intention: to show everyone a little appreciation and respect, even if the end result comes out a butcher shop’s tribute to a man whose melodic craftsmanship is beyond approximation.

    Os trabalhos, todos, foram muito bem produzidos e encaixados. Não dá para negar que senti falta de "Sledgehammer" e de David Bowie eOs trabalhos, todos, foram muito bem produzidos e encaixados. Não dá para negar que senti falta de "Sledgehammer" e de David Bowie e Radiohead, uma vez que se trata de uma continuação de Scratch my back (2010), e que todos os artistas participantes do tributo foram cantores que receberam versão de suas músicas na voz de Peter Gabriel, que na ocasião interpretou "Heroes" e "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" . Ficou um vazio. Mas o que foi entregue é suficientemente convincente e interessante. Para os ouvintes veteranos, esse não é o tributo definitivo. Mas para novos ouvintes, existem opções bastante atraentes para conhecer os trabalhos de Peter Gabriel. Recomendo fortemente que todos ouçam essa homenagem.… Full Review »
