2 stars On to Peter Gabriels second solo effort.

"On the Air" - I hear early Bowie very clearly on this track. It's a solid rocker almost in the realm of "Glam Rock".

"D.I.Y." - Very strangely structured track which is quirky and which I don't like much although it is interesting.

"Mother of Violence" - I don't mind this soft little piano driven track at all. Kind of thing that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young could have done.

"A Wonderful Day in a One-Way World" - Kind of a country music flavored track done experimentally. Again an interesting track.

"White Shadow" - I find the structure of this track very strange. Kind of Rock with a Country Middle Eastern feel if that were possible.

"Indigo" - Very much a slower, softer track from Gabriel that doesn't stand out for me.

"Animal Magic" - Rock and Roll done in a quirky way - I don't really go for this track.

"Exposure" - Fripp and Levin stand out here. An interesting experimental art rock track.

"Flotsam and Jetsam" - Another experimental track.

"Perspective" - Upbeat rockout number with a touch of Punk.

"Home Sweet Home" -

I can't say that I like this album. It is not cohesive and the music can be all over the place at times. Where the first album was hit this one is very much miss.
