Title: Peter Gabriel Lost Me Here...
Review: This was a very disappointing album when released and it hasn't grown in stature over the last 20 years for me. "Red Rain" gets the album off to an incredible start and really faked me out. Metallic percussion returns and adds a high end back to the sound. "Sledgehammer" is okay for a hit single, but weak for Gabriel. His vocals don't fit with soul music at all. "Don't Give Up" is an interminable Kate Bush duet that in no way justifies it's 6:30 length! The only other A-class material here is the superb "In Your Eyes." It is such a strong song it makes me flabbergasted to think that the awful Roseanna Arquette is the inspiration for it! The rest doesn't merit much discussion one way or another. This was the last Peter Gabriel solo album I'd bother to buy.
