The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Genesis

10/1001 The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is a really perplexing album. Over 90 minutes long and a great and quite imaginative concept, sadly however, it’s way too ambitious. Listening to the first LP was pretty good, and the music definitely held its own in comparison to its ambitions. The second LP though, not so much. Most of it fell flat and blended together until the last few songs on the d-side. I kinda get why people started disliking the pretentiousness of prog in the mid to late 70s. And at over 90 minutes as already mentioned it really is pretentious and self indulgent. That doesn’t mean it’s bad per se. Most of the first half was still very good. 3,5/5
