Peter Gabriel's new song, "The Veil"

This morning (September 15th, 2016) Peter Gabriel released a new single called "The Veil." This is a song written specifically for the movie "Snowden," and the lyrics are pretty clearly about the Snowden story.  

I'm a huge fan of Peter Gabriel, although his recording/mastering quality isn't always up to snuff and is sometimes a victim of the Loudness Wars ('So' remaster for example) It's worth noting that Peter Gabriel is also a celebrity spokesperson for B&W speakers, and also uses B&W's for his personal listening.  

The track itself is pretty good.  The lyrics strike me as a bit awkward and my immediate impression after just two listens is that it, too, is a bit too compressed.    The recording quality is actually pretty "blah".   I could happily listen to this in my car, but on my home system, unless it was background music, it would bother me.

Decide for yourself and let me know in the comments what you think.
