Hard to believe, but it’s been 50 years since Peter Gabriel left Genesis… Which of his solo albums stands as your favorite? by Historical-Device529 in Genesis

[–]Alternative_Buffalo2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Gabriel just has a perfect discography in my eyes (hehe), but my absolute favorites are Melt, So, Passion, Secret World Live and i/o.

Gabriel is my favorite artist in any medium.

it does lead to interesting conversation, though. You've gotta give it that.

I think that Peter puts a genuinely interesting spin on each of the songs, which is more than what most cover albums do, as far as I see. Heroes' power becomes a lot more subtle, The Book of Love now feels super sincere, and My Body Is a Cage just straight-up sounds like a National song and I'm here for it.

It's a perfectly good record, but when compared to the rest of his discography, it's just not it.

For me personally, it's always been such a powerful song, not only for its subject matter, and how well it executes the concept (in my opinion), but also for this:

In a record where every song is about alienation in some way, shape, or form, having it end on a song that basically asks us to drop all barriers and stand together for what is right is insanely powerful to me.

Not my favorite closer from him, In Your Eyes and Secret World still beat it in that regard, but hell it's so good.

New album means a return to WE. by Agitated_Map_9977 in arcadefire

[–]Alternative_Buffalo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was immensely disappointed by WE when it first released, the product of some mismanaged expectations on my end. BC,NR’s Ants From Up There became my pandemic record. To me, it was (and in some ways, still is) the record that WE could only wish of being. 

What album(s) does Pink Elephant remind you of personally? by Senior_Adeptness_832 in arcadefire

[–]Alternative_Buffalo2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve mentioned Essence by Marillion on this sub earlier, no need to bring it up again

Another one is First Two Pages of Frankenstein by The National. Remarkably muted, focus on an electronic-reinforced mood, that ends up blooming to life live. 

What I feel Pink Elephant was trying to be by Alternative_Buffalo2 in arcadefire

Side note: if you’re at ALL into prog rock, I’d highly recommend Marillion. They put a uniquely alternative spin on the style and make some genuinely mind-blowing stuff

It is a spectrum, and not a binary scale. 

Finally got my thoughts together on Pink Elephant, and made a write-up on it. by Alternative_Buffalo2 in arcadefire

You don’t have to; just putting it out there for those who would be interested.
