When it comes to giving the people what they want, Peter Gabriel has always delivered musically, but in doing so he’s rarely opted for the easy path. Quitting Genesis for a solo career that melded (horror!) new wave and world music into his prog rock base, having one of the world’s biggest albums of 1986 in and then waiting six years to follow it up, not to album up and another 21 years to, hopefully, deliver another new album on top of that! And then drip-feeding your new album as singles every full moon to a fanbase who very often want you to do things the way they want, not the way you want. It’s not what you’d call taking the easy route.
