| “ | In every way, it's a considerable, lasting achievement and it's little wonder that Peter Gabriel had to leave the band after this record: they had gone as far as they could go together, and could never top this extraordinary album. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine/AMG (5/5 Stars) | ” |
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is a double concept album recorded and released in 1974 by the British rock band Genesis. It was their sixth studio album and the last album by the group to feature the involvement of lead singer Peter Gabriel.
Premise
The album tells the surreal story of a half Puerto Rican juvenile delinquent named Rael living in New York City, who is swept underground to face bizarre creatures and nightmarish dangers in order to rescue his brother John. Several of the story's occurrences and places were derived from Peter Gabriel's dreams, and the protagonist's name is a play on his surname. In an interview Phil Collins remarked, "It's about a 'split personality'[citation needed]. In this context, Rael would believe he is looking for John but is actually looking for a missing part of himself. The individual songs also make satirical allusions to everything from mythology to the sexual revolution to advertising and consumerism. The title track, as well as "The Carpet Crawlers" and "In the Cage", are live favourites for the band. Both "In the Cage" and "The Carpet Crawlers" were included in 2007's Turn it On Again: The Tour, with "The Carpet Crawlers" played as the closing number.
Reception
In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock, the album came No.14 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums".
The album came 9th in Uncut's "10 best concept albums", where it was described as an "impressionistic, intense album" and "pure theatre (in a good way) and still Gabriel's best work".

Lmao )) Mike, is it you, that "crazy" Holdsworth & Bruford lover ?! ))
We used to chat @GreenDevil a couple of times, remember ? I still keep 3 of your Bruford LPs ;)
Excellent share and rip!
I can't understand all the slobbering over the SACD rips? I have the SACD boxsets and I can only bear a few of them.
this is because that filename contains a slash: "/", (or was it "\" I don't remember) Just rename it to "-" and that's it.
Thanks aksman for this rip. I'm enjoying this album and getting into it after quite a few times during my life of trying and not succeeding. Now I'm finally getting there! Sounds good too! Although it seems theres some debate as to which is the best edition to listen to. It would seem that a real audiophile remaster hasn't been done yet on CD or vinyl (like DCC, MFSL, XRCD, Analogue Productions, etc). It would benefit from that. Not to mention the 2008 remix that is said to suffer from the loudness syndrome, although I haven't listened to it.
Cheers
I have always loved this album
