Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
An epic production highlighted by the clockwork undertones of "Intruder" and the Afro-prog-rock of "Biko," the third in Peter Gabriel's trilogy of eponymous solo titles is a watermark of the former Genesis singer's career. Drummer Jerry Marotta's tight global groove templates drive the edgy guitar pastiches of Robert Fripp, David Rhodes, Paul Weller, and XTC's Dave Gregory. Yielding the enigmatic 1980 hit "Games Without Frontiers," the Steve Lillywhite-produced opus travels the dark psychic corners of its narrator with a then-profoundly futuristic sound that's no less compelling than Bowie's Scary Monsters, which was released the same year. The cover may depict Gabriel's melting face, but the album marks Gabriel's arrival as a solid solo artist. --James Rotondi

Usually regarded as Gabriel's best, Peter Gabriel 3 is superb. Longtime guitarist David Rhodes joins Tony Levin, Larry Fast and Jerry Marotta as the primary backing band on this record, augmented at times by none less than Robert Fripp, Kate Bush, and Phil Collins (back when he was still a drummer).
The music starts off dark and haunting, "Intruder", a first person narrative about breaking into someone's home. The album maintains this feeling, both from an internal standpoint ("No Self-Control", "I Don't Remember") and external ("Games Without Frontiers", "Not One of Us"). The material rocks like little else, and its nature suits Gabriel well. The dark chant of "No Self Control", the energetic confusion and horror of "I Don't Remember", the venom in the delivery of "Games Without Frontiers"... the material inspires Gabriel. Instrumentally, its filled with odd bursts of guitars and percussion, sometimes wrapping around itself. Still, as great as these songs are, none of them can begin to compare to what I consider to be Gabriel's greatest song, "Family Snapshot". Starting soft and delicate, and building, saxaphone screaming along with Gabriel's voice, the externalized horror of an assassin, climaxing with the moment of assassination, then dribblign into a feeling of loneliness and hopelessness. It paints a sympathetic picture of a man who is so desparate for attention, he'll kill for it. As powerful as it is, few moments are as stunning as Gabriel's whimpering "Come back mom and dad" over a delicate fretless bass.
The end of the record takes the aggression out of the introspection, the delicate beauty of "Lead a Normal Life" and the powerful tribute, "Biko", similar in feel to "Here Comes the Flood" off of the the car album, builds until gaining anthemic power. "Biko" also paints the way to the future for Gabriel, with its tribal-esque percussion and chants.
This is really superb, one of the best of its genre. Highly recommended.
The album is quite eclectic borrowing from new wave, world music, hard rock which was established in previous albums. The atmosphere is to die for, and he takes on multiple persona's to a much greater effect than when he was dressing up in Genesis performances. Again this album is all the proof you need to show that Peter needed to leave Genesis to artistically grow into this. Which benefited Genesis because they became more lucrative under Phil Collins that however doesn't mean they were as artistically inclined as this album.

Première constatation, Peter Gabriel a fini de couper les liens avec ses anciens camarades, reste la voix, évidemment, mais, sinon, toute trace du rock progressif symphonique qui l'a fait connaître au monde. Ici, plus volontairement froid qu'il ne l'a jamais été, décidant de choix osés (de la batterie, oui, mais pas de cymbales), s'entourant encore et toujours de précieux collaborateurs (Kate Bush, si précieuse sur le plein d'espoir, la bulle d'oxygène d'une aeuvre au noir, Games Without Frontiers, Paul Weller venu apporter un peu de jeune électricité à l'énervé And Through the Wire, Phil Collins au tribalisme précieux sur Intruder et No Self Control, Tony Levin apportant le glissé précieux de son stick sur I Don't Remember, Robert Fripp toujours de la partie et toujours aussi décisif sur No Self Control, I Don't Remember et Not One of Us, Larry Fast et sa cornemuse vibrante sur le cri de douleur qu'est le magnifique Biko, etc.) apportant chacun, sous la bienveillante supervision de Peter évidemment, sa pierre a ce qui devient, au bout du compte, un impressionnant édifice.
uvre pensée, construite, précieuse mais aussi froide et détachée, Melt, troisième éponyme de l'archange, est un indéniable sommet d'art rock intelligent, supérieurement composé, interprété et produit par un artiste pointilleux à l'extrême. Et un album désormais classique qu'on ne devrait plus avoir à recommander tant, c'est l'évidence !, tout le monde l'a entendu, et si ce n'est pas le cas, il est encore temps, pus que temps même !, de se rattraper parce que, 35 ans après sa sortie, il brille encore de tous ses feux.
