 [No title]
Peter Gabriel is a musical genius, whose career has spanned more than 20 years, first as a member of the band Genesis, then later, and certainly more visibly, as a solo artist of incredible passion.
In Peter's 1993 interview session on Prodigy, he had simply this to say about the meaning of 'Shock the Monkey': "[T]his song is about jealousy and a sort of animal nature." The lyrics bear this out and the video takes a new light when viewed with this in mind.
Peter had this to say in his 1993 Prodigy session: "'Sledgehammer' certainly has sexual references and in many ways is part of a tradition of blues and soul of sexual metaphor." The video for 'Sledgehammer' was the first in which Peter used the animation techniques he later became famous for in this and following videos.

Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel (I) Peter Gabriel has always been a bit of a musical chameleon, drawing from various influences and/or cultures and somehow developing a sound that is clearly his own.
To call Peter Gabriel's third self-titled project a landmark album is a huge understatement, not only in terms of his career, but also in terms of modern pop music.
Peter Gabriel's sixth studio album as a solo artist is among his finest efforts to date.

 Peter Gabriel
Since his departure, Peter has released about ten albums, and, while there can still be found traces of an old Genesis sound on the first two ones, it sometimes seems to me that he's been intentionally alienating himself from his past all this time.
Maybe Peter was not the first person to marry rock music to ethnic rhythms, but he's certainly the most consistent and laborious worker in that direction.
What Peter was trying to find here is a new prescription, a new direction for rock to follow, by doing quite a simple thing, in fact: taking these rock basics and meshing them with those existent musical styles that haven't yet been married to rock, or have been married to it insufficiently.

 Peter Gabriel
I've been a big Peter Gabriel fan for a couple of years now.  Strangely, I only discovered he was the lead singer of Genesis a while after I started buying his albums, and thus had to go back out and spend more money collecting the albums he did with Genesis.
The first solo album by Peter Gabriel is not a masterpiece, as you perfectly say; but we know that the passage from the leadership of a famous group to a solo carrier is always painful.
Peter also contributes his best vocal performance of the album, both in singing and in his lyrics (which I guess are about being in a rain of blood, perhaps after a heavy battle or something like that).

Gabriel's departure from Genesis (which stunned fans of the group and left many commentators wondering if they could survive) was the result of a number of factors.
Gabriel toured extensively for each of his albums, continuing the dramatic shows he began with Genesis, often involving elaborate stage props and acrobatics which had him suspended from gantries, distorting his face with fresnel lenses and mirrors, and wearing unusual makeup.
Gabriel is known for choosing top-flight collaborators, from co-producers such as Ezrin, Fripp, Lillywhite, and Lanois to musicians such as Youssou N'Dour, Larry Fast, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sinead O'Connor, Paula Cole, Manu Katché, and Stewart Copeland.
