don't think I've liked anything labeled Crust

Just out of curiosity do you have any more affinity for powerviolence over grindcore since it's basically grindcore without the metal influence?

I was about to ask the same thing.

Is this crust punk?

Do they not feed these guys? Oh I get it: crusts only. Man, what a life.

Gabriel is a very weird forward thinking musician who grew musically even if his fans didn't

you can hear it all the way back in Genesis

Yeah, Melt is one of the great records of that whole era but that knowledge wasn't enough to get me through Selling England by the Pound or any other Genesis. Gabriel's first solo album, with gems such as Moribund the Burgermeister and Humdrum, is probably the closest to Genesis I can take.

Not even Motorhead? They were the band that made me more tolerant of metal. Lemmy is a proper geezer

I like the first Gabriel album a lot even if it's unfocused, it's a real "try everything and see what sticks" kind of record but it's got a lot of great stuff on it and not just Solsbury Hill.

Agreed, Gabriel's first album is very fun and charming. A lot of it feels like a perfect transition from the style of his Genesis days to what he would do later. I could imagine something like Moribund the Burgermeister being on the followup to The Lamb that never was.

If we're talking the first album, I guess my standout would be "Here Comes the Flood". Why he decided to play it live as a quieter thing with no powerful outro is beyond me, robs the song of all its energy and drama I feel. I have a sneaking admiration for "Excuse Me" and I too like "Humdrum", which I think pointed more the way to his later material (like on 2 and 3, not after that, when he went in a more poppy direction after So) and I also love "Waiting for the Big One", where he takes on the blues. Sing it, brother!

Hard disagree, I like it better as a piano ballad. Gabriel thought the version on the debut was overproduced and though I still like it I don't think he's wrong, Bob Ezrin made it sound very arena rock, I like the more ambient version he did on Robert Fripp's Exposure better.

Fun fact: Lemmy didn't consider his music metal.

We're not going to agree on much, are we?
