The three hundred and third album: #303 Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

We've reached another concept album, with Genesis' prog rock extravaganza the last album Peter Gabriel did with them - and the last time Genesis shows up on the list. As is usual, it's hard to say a lot about the overall feel of a concept album as there really is a lot of variety in here. The more fantastical elements come across quite well as such, playing with different genres and some quite discordant sounds when needed. For other, more grounded parts you get some good, bouncy rock tracks, nothing too extravagant but you can tell the difference between the different parts of the story from the way the tracks sound.

While not many tracks work as s stand alone song, and those that do are mostly earlier in the album, it works as a journey that doesn't even need the plot description of the liner notes to give you an idea of what is happening here.
