Peter Gabriel (II)

Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel's second solo album, was released in 1978 to lukewarm reviews. The album is the second of four with the same eponymous title (as though each album were an issue of a magazine). Guitarist Robert Fripp served as producer. The album did not sell as well as the first Peter Gabriel. "Mother of Violence" was written by Peter and his wife Jill Gabriel. The couple divorced the same year, possibly contributing to the dark, depressing mood of the record.
