One listen- sounds pretty good. Some interesting sounds. I have a feeling the sound of this video is pretty crappy compared to what would be on the album.

If it had been on "Up", it would've been one of the tracks I'd skip after the first listen or two. There are a few interesting moments, but...
Of all the songs Peter Gabriel has recorded, this is one of them.
Sleeping at home is killing the hotel business!

Rhythmically it feels a bit pre-set, drum-machine...but it has some things here and there that are ok...feels like UP meets Security in places...i just wish there were a bit more dynamics, builds, actual playing?
Nah, it was funny.
Right man. I've seen Neil Young a million times, but he never plays Teach Your Children!
Utter crap,
British Rap.
Gabe needs a slap.
Over produced or Under produced
1 bit drums perfect for high res audio
Sig worthy!It's the internet. If you're not gonna find fault with something, why log on at all?
I feel the title is very odd, like if he was trying to imply "we're all amazing" by the title....call it, "We're Amazing" -- but then people call that "tweeish"

I mean this is the kind of stuff people probably put together in night just cutting and pasting Audio Units-VSTs together in Logic or ProTools.
Really lazy crap .

Paint by number Gabriel. The composition and sound structure of this may have interested me once when I first heard it 30 years ago but this rehash does nothing for me. Of all my musical heros of yesteryear, I think Gab may be the biggest let down today. And to think I used to stand in line overnight for tickets and rush to the store on new release Tuesdays if he was involved once upon a time.
Fantastic 80s-like Gabriel at his best.

As for the song...all joking aside, I like it fine. As a one-off to Ali, seems nice
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Also, Ephemeral Sun: it's a thing and we like making things that might be your thing: https://ephemeralsun.bandcamp.com
Yeah, that's a good point. To me PG is a bit like Kate Bush in that both are prog I like, yet neither is really about instrumental prowess. Great voices, interesting textures, but rarely a solo of any kind.
There's on sort of loud, shrieking sound at one point, which I thought was a car squealing down the road. That was kind of cool.
I guess if he thinks this song is a good way to announce the album we should be a bit concerned.
So it's about Muhammed Ali. I originally thought it was a comment on Gen X kids these days.
“I wrote a song a few years back – ‘I’m Amazing’, which was, in part, inspired by Muhammad Ali’s life and struggles and at the time of his death, when so many people are celebrating his life and thinking about all he achieved, it seemed the right time to release it.”

p.s. Re his textures:
At 47 years old, 48 fast approaching, I sincerely appreciate that there are people who still think I'm a kid. Thanks for that. I will humbly return the favor by getting off your lawn and turning my damn music down.
Peter Gabriel is getting like Robert Plant, just put out any crap and the fans will eat it up.
Ignorant statement of the day award! Congrats!
I agree about the paint-by-numbers... In the 1980s this "sound" was really fresh and exciting. Gabriel largely invented it and is deservedly a star because of it. But trotting out the same sound 30+ years later? Perhaps an OK move if the actual songs are very good. This one is catchy for sure, but very good? I'll give it a few more spins.
insults for opinions.... what an ass.
Are you seeing pics that we can't?
started off like it could have been on Birdy or even Passion then turned into a UP style tune...not bad i thought.
