The porcelain mannequin with shattered skin fears attack. The eager pack lift up their pitchers – they carry all they lack. The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack, And the tickler takes his stickleback.

What the hell? The whole record is like that. And by that I mean awesome!

I pull The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway off the shelf a few times every year. I then stop everything I’m doing, and listen to it from start to finish. That’s kind of the whole point of a concept album, but this one is so very good it’s hard not to. Peter Gabriel left after this album, and Genesis became something else. “Lamb” is the best thing they’ve ever done.
