The story follows a young half-Puerto Rican street kid from New York City named Rael as he embarks on a fantastical journey to find his brother John. [[Mind Screw|Or something like that...]]. Seriously, there's [http://ashgate.com/default.aspx?page=637&calcTitle=1&isbn=9780754661474&lang=cy-GB an entire book] that contains various interpretations of the story.

{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes: ===
 
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Rael and his brother John.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The story Gabriel wrote for the liner notes. [[Your Mileage May Vary|Some people]] think that it only serves to [[Mind Screwdriver|confuse matters even further]].
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
** That site doesn't explain everything, either. Face it, [[True Art Is Incomprehensible|it is inexplicable]].
* [[No Ending]]: See [[Gainax Ending]] above.
* [[Punctuated! forFor! Emphasis!]]: "I'M RAAAAAEL!!!!"
* [[Ravens and Crows]]: A raven plays a pivotal role in the story when {{spoiler|it flies off with the yellow tube containing Rael's genitals}}.
* [[Rock Opera]]: One of the most famous.
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[Sex Changes Everything]]: [[Body Horror|The Slippermen]] are an extremely literal example of this trope.
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Peter Gabriel during the ''The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway'' tour.
* [[Take That]]: Apparently, on various legs of the tour, Peter Gabriel (jokingly) compared the Slippermen to either guitarist Mike Rutherford or drummer [[Phil Collins]].
* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: We discover at the very end that {{spoiler|Rael and his brother John whom he's spent the entire album chasing}} are actually the same person.
