The four hundred and fifty-ninth album: #459 Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel (III)
Is it possible I've had my fill of prog rock? Peter Gabriel's third self titled album feels, from a distance, like a good example of the genre, something quite nice to listen to. It does fail to connect with me, partially because it all settles into the same style - perhaps novel in places but not as distinct as I would hope for - but also because Peter Gabriel's vocals don't really work for me on this album. There's some slight slurring that I think comes from some applied filters, which leaves me with them fading into the background more than the lyrics seem to indicate he'd want. It feels like a bit of a mistake from when the album was put together, but means that I just never felt I got much out of listening to it.
