Moved from YMMV.

Added DiffLines:

* CreatorDrivenSuccessor: Given that the entire album is more or less a darker take on ''So'', cases of this inevitably abound.
** "Steam" is overtly one to "Sledgehammer" and "Big Time", in that it's a throwback to '60s soul and '70s funk on an album otherwise defined by a mix of art pop and African folk music.
** "Kiss That Frog" also acts as a successor of sorts to ''So''[='s=] funkier pieces, with it being an upbeat love song with heavy use of phallic metaphors in the vein of "Sledgehammer".
** "Fourteen Black Paintings" can be considered one to "We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)", with it being a mostly-instrumental mood piece tucked near the end of its respective album.
** This even extends to the music videos, with "Steam" and "Kiss That Frog" following up on the stop-motion driven videos for "Sledgehammer" and "Big Time" by making as much use of then-cutting-edge CGI animation technology as possible.

Trope Misuse. Reality Subtext involves connecting what goes on in the film with reality, an unintentional meta reading if you like. What you described was closer to a moral or a message.


* RealitySubtext: The film appears to be an allegory for how the upper and middle class are supported by the world's poor with no thought for the welfare of the people they're exploiting.

* CreatorCouple: According to Music/SineadOConnor, her collaborations with Gabriel on this album were made during an on-and-off romantic relationship between the two, which she would ultimately terminate due to her dissatisfaction with its lack of commitment. O'Connor would later write 1994's "Thank You for Hearing Me" as an expression of her feelings in the wake of that.
