Peter Gabriel is the second solo studio album by English singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel, released in 1978. The album is the second of four with the same title. Guitarist Robert Fripp served as producer, whose influence on the album is evident in the use of 'Frippertronics' on the track "Exposure". The album did not sell as well as the first Peter Gabriel, but reached No. 10 on the UK charts. Mother of Violence" was written by Peter and his first wife Jill Gabriel.

Peter Gabriel’s first solo album promised some sort of reconciliation between art rock and the rock mainstream: it had the sense of a breakthrough in negotiations between warring factions. Its two most direct hard-rock songs, Modern Love and Solsbury Hill, were among 1977’s most underrated. Clearly, I don’t find this Peter Gabriel as enticing as last year’s, but I certainly can’t dismiss it. If the prettiest moments are more difficult to listen to, the most difficult passages are easier to grasp. In This Article: Peter Gabriel.
