Gabriel, Peter

Peter Gabriel
1978 UK Original On The Mad Hatter Label, With Original Inner. Light Edge Rubs. "The Pairing Sounds Ideal -- The Former Front Man Of Genesis, As Produced By The Leading Light Of King Crimson. Unfortunately, Peter Gabriel's Second Album (Like His First, Eponymous) Fails To Meet Those Grandiose Expectations, Even Though It Seems To At First. "On The Air" And "D.I.Y." Are Stunning Slices Of Modern Rock Circa 1978, Bubbling With Synths, Insistent Rhythms, And Polished Processed Guitars, All Enclosed In A Streamlined Production That Nevertheless Sounds As Large As A Stadium. Then, Things Begin To Drift, At First In A Pleasant Way ("A Wonderful Day In A One-Way World" Is Surprisingly Nimble), But By The End, It All Seems A Little Formless. It's Not That The Music Is Overly Challenging -- It's That The Record Is Unfocused. There Are Great Moments Scattered Throughout The Record, Yet It Never Captivates, Either Through Intoxicating, Messy Creativity (As He Did On His Debut) Or Through Cohesion (The Way The Third Peter Gabriel Album, Two Years Later, Would). Certain Songs Work Well On Their Own -- Not Just The Opening Numbers, But The Mini-epic "White Shadow," The Tight "Animal Magic," The Tense Yet Catchy "Perspective," The Reflective Closer "Home Sweet Home" -- Yet For All The Tracks That Work, They Never Work Well Together. Ironically, It Holds Together A Bit Better Than Its Predecessor, Yet It Never Reaches The Brilliant Heights Of That Record. In Short, It's A Transitional Effort That's Well Worth The Time Of Serious Listeners, Even It's Still Somewhat Unsatisfying." AMG Review By Stephen Thomas Erlewine.
