... keep reading on reddit ➡Released in 1986
Released a whole four years after Security, So would be the most successful and commercial album Peter would ever release. The album's numerous hits and worldwide success earned Peter the title of "sellout", as many of his fans felt his shift away from more experimental music was a blatant attempt at a cash-grab. Not only do I believe these claims to be unfair and ridiculous, but they simply don't make sense if you really think about it. In many ways, So was just another step in the natural evolution of Peter's sound. With his first two albums, Car and Scratch, there was a strong emphasis on melody and song, as Peter honed in his skill as a writer. For Melt and Security, we got this shift to rhythm and texture, with Peter incorporating world music and odd production techniques. And moving onto So, we saw Peter siphon out the best of both worlds, returning to a more standard method of songwriting - but not without everything he learned on his previous two records, continuing to show his love for layered arrangements and African music.
So would offer a few new elements of its own as well. Peter brought in some Motown and soul influences, which was largely the music of his childhood, and this no doubt contributed to the album's more accessible sound. And while flawless production was nothing new to Gabriel's records, it would be taken to the next level on this album, with some of the cleanest and most crisp mixes you could ever imagine on it - in my opinion it's one of the best produced records of all time.
Peter:
>I wanted this album to be more direct. It's a coming out process.^(1)

>You know certain songs have a better chance of getting on the radio when you do them, for sure, but I think part of the reason that So works so well was that the band was really firing off each other and we had a great sound and production team. It was compact in the process and the way it was put together.^(2)
"Red Rain"
And we get a taste of that refined production right off the bat with "Red Rain", as Steward Copeland taps away on his hi-hat, while the bass and piano close in on that menacing D/C chord, exploding into our first chorus. Peter's hefty, gruff voice dominates the track, recalling a dream he had where

The funeral director was asking us what we think Mum should wear in her casket.
Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.
The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:
"What's sarong with that?"
I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).
His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.
--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)
--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.
I would have a daughter
But Bill kept the Windows
True story; it even happened last night. My 5-year-old son walks up behind me and out of the blue says, "hey."
I turn to him and say, "yeah, kiddo? What's up?"
He responds, "it's dead grass."
I'm really confused and trying to figure out what's wrong and what he wants from me. "What? There's dead grass? What's wrong with that?"
.
.
.
He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.
And then you will all be sorry.
Now it’s syncing.
You officially hit rock bottom
He replied, "Well, stop going to those places then!"
I will find you. You have my Word.
“thank you for your cervix.”
...sails are going through the roof.
Made me smile
Mods said I'm a cereal reposter...

But now I stand corrected.
Wait. Sorry, wrong sub.
Wookie mistake.
