Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Up is the seventh studio album recorded by English art pop musician Peter Gabriel. It was released through Real World Records in the United Kingdom, and Geffen Records in North America, on 23 September 2002.Coming out a whole decade after his previous album, owing to a highly protracted production that started all the way back in 1995, this release marks a shift back to the bleak, aggressive art rock style of Melt while retaining the atmosphere and introspection of Gabriel's other releases. At the same time, Up foregoes most of its predecessors' World Music elements in favor of an industrial-tinged direction, while also ramping up the Progressive Rock-based structural elements characteristic of both Gabriel's early material and his material with Genesis. True to Gabriel's longtime affinity for taking advantage of evolving technology in music, Up was produced using then-new digital audio workstation software, allowing for a far greater amount of musical and artistic flexibility than what was previously possible with the drum machines and Fairlight CMI that dominated his '80s and '90s material.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In the vein of Us and its recurring themes of failing relationships, Up is a Concept Album examining the duality of birth and death, with particularly strong emphasis on the latter in both a literal and a metaphorical sense. Much of the album's tone was also influenced by the September 11 attacks that occurred near the tail end of production; while the songs were written long before the attacks, the event nonetheless resulted in Gabriel revising the tone of the album to more adequately express the feelings of grief, fear, shock, and anger that followed the destruction of the Twin Towers, dedicating "I Grieve" in particular to the countless people who had no idea what became of their loved ones during the attacks (Gabriel himself being one of them— his daughters were in New York City on 9/11, and he was unable to contact them for a good while afterwards, leaving a lasting impression even after they turned out to be alive and well).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Upon release, Up was a commercial success, topping the Italian Albums chart and peaking at No. 11 in the UK and No. 9 on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard's Top Internet Albums chart. The album would later be certified gold in Canada, Germany, and Switzerland, as well as silver in the UK. Conversely, it is currently also Gabriel's last album of original material— while the intended sequel to Up, I/O, began production concurrently with this album in 1995, to this day it is still in production, owing to Gabriel's self-admitted Attention Deficit Creator Disorder. Gabriel's actual next two albums, 2010's Scratch My Back and 2011's New Blood, were respectively a Cover Album and a collection of orchestral re-recordings of his previous songs.Up was supported by four singles: "The Barry Williams Show", "More Than This", "Growing Up", and a Switzerland-only release of "Darkness".Tracklist: "Darkness" (6:51) "Growing Up" (7:33) "Sky Blue" (6:37) "No Way Out" (7:53) "I Grieve" (7:25) "The Barry Williams Show" (7:16) "My Head Sounds Like That" (6:29) "More Than This" (6:02) "Signal to Noise" (7:36) "The Drop" (2:59)My tropes like to travel: | |
