Peter Gabriel's first four albums may have sold more copies if he'd come up with a proper title for them, just as his record company was urging.

'Gabriel 1 is a little over produced, and I prefer the more stripped down 'Gabriel 2. The two together, however, represent his best solo work over what was to follow.

Haven't listened to it in a while. I recall feeling it was kind of inconsistent. Not because of the wide variety of things, but because some ideas just worked out better than others. However it certainly has its flashes of glory, and Solisbury Hill is one of my favorite Gabriel songs.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Yeah, I'll never get or agree with your ratings. But you type beautifully.

The first Peter Gabriel album, while not a very accessible album, has stood the test of time.
It's certainly not perfect, yet it creates atmospheres that have never really been recaptured by him or by anybody else. It's truly unique.

I'm a huge Genesis fan, love both eras......but I think I am a bigger Peter Gabriel fan. His creativity is mind blowing in a lot of places. For example the use of NO cymbals on III/Melt, he used other methods to give us those "crash" moments.....genius!
His voice became bigger, mature with emotion and even with some of the many Genesis performances, he shines on his solo albums. So and Us are brilliant, Car is right up there....Another plus is Gabriel is a fanatic for sound quality, his solo albums are some of the best sounding records in my collection, and with the creation of his state of the art Real World Studios, has become the premier location to record in.

Well except for the fabulous Solsbury Hill (that you probably hear on the radio 3 or 4 times each week anyway) and Here Comes the Flood, you'll not miss much. |

Great album. I was very confused when this was released. Didn't like it. At all. But it has aged very well - much better than the follow-up...

Me too! There's so much great music I keep hearing about here, but I just haven't got the time to listen to it all. I've barely scratched the surface of the musical box of delights just waiting to be heard in the vast, seemingly infinite progosphere. Three hours of my day here are already taken up with writing one album review per day. Next up for review tomorrow is Richard Wright's first solo album, and it promises to be good from what I've heard of it so far.

Been listening to it today. Really enjoyed hearing it again. Moribund the Burgermeister wouldn't have sounded too out of place on the lamb IMO.

Personally I like better Melt and Mask, but Car is excellent and it was historically more important. Gabriel proved that he could still make great and very original music without the other Genesis members, and it was surprisingly different from his previous child The Lamb...
