Peter Gabriel 2 = LP = (LP)
When trying to choose a favorite PG solo album, I go back and forth between this one and the debut. He still hasn't gone all new wave world beat on us and there's still some songs that conceivably could have been Genesis songs. The best and most Genesis-esque is the lovely "Mother of Violence". Peter's gentle delivery perfectly suits the melody and arrangement and though it's a somber, serious song, there's also some token PG surreal humor in there. The other songs on the albums first side are also highlights, especially "DIY" and "One Way World". Side 2 is a bit patchier but there's a sonic playfulness here that's engaging and missing from a lot of the albums that albums that would follow.
