Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Very underrated album. It is very comparable to "So". I think it's actually better, and second only to PG III. Much of it is more creative than "So" although Steam really is a sequel to Sledgehammer. There is nothing on "So" as dark and nasty as Digging in the Dirt or as clever and slimy as Kiss that Frog. I think Secret World and Blood of Eden are two of his very best songs ever and remind me of his best work with Genesis, re: Carpet Crawler and Cinema Show, without being sequels to them. Washing of the Water is the culmination of his lyrical obsession with water (think Here Comes the Flood, Family and the Fishing Net, I Go Swimming, Across the River) and it strikes me as cathartic - like he knows that he has now got the obsession beaten... Come Talk to Me is brilliant and very creative musically (bagpipes!). The only song I don't like much is Love To Be Loved, but I like it better than Big Time from "So"... There is no question that this album is virtually as good as "So" and if it had been released in 1987, a year after "So" would have been much more popular than it was in 1992, by which time many fans of "So" had moved on and forgotten about PG...

A lot of relationship turmoil informed Us and it tears at the heart as a result. He continues embellishing down a "world music" rock path (that he'd pursue further via Real World Records) that gives these tales of emotional turmoil solid ground to root from, something real to grow from up to the harsh sunlight of obviously frayed and torn relationships.

Some great vocal performances on Steam, Washing of the Water, and Kiss that Frog. Musically, overall a little flatter than So; doesn't reach the highs or lows. It's definitely worth a listen. (Edited)
Peter Gabriel's break up album. Us, is his first and last LP of the nineties and features some great songs. Digging in the dirt, and, steam, are great, but, come talk to me, and, blood of Eden, are two of the loveliest things Gabriel has ever done. It's just another solid Peter Gabriel record. (Edited)
Gabriel once said he thought this was a better record than "So". No. But that one was a masterpiece. This one is ok.
