Genesis: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Options

[mrmcpheezy]

Holy shit is this album awesome. This is the last Genesis album Peter Gabriel was a part of, and it's pretty fucking cool. I just got it recently, and have only listened to it a few times, but so far my favorite tracks are "in the cage", "back in nyc", and "the lamb lies down/the light dies down on broadway". The thing that's caught my attention the most about this album is the synth work. There's some amazing stuff. The drumming and guitar/bass work can be kinda boring at times, but the synth player is awesome, and peter gabriel obviously is as well.

Anyone else heard it?

YES, "Lamb.." is a superb album. All of Peter G's Genesis albums are VERY good. The first few Phil Collins ones werer very good as well, up until "Duke" anyway, 83's Genesis had good songs too, "Mama" is a classic as is "Thats ALL" and "Silver Rainbow"..."Home By the Sea" is pretty damn good as well...the others, eh, they are okay. The invisible touch album, while nothing compared to Gabriel Genesis and early Phil Genesis is poor, but as a pop dance album it is very good, just not a Genesis album, I actually like Phils first few albums as well, "Face Value" I can listen to straight through, "Hello, I must Be Going" has classics "I Don't Care ANymore" and "Thru These Walls", the following album had a few winners.

I love the song "No Son of Mine" from their 92 album. ANd of course Peter Gabriel solo is AMAZING beyond words, Peter is one of my idols.

ANyway, there ya go.
