THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY

A huge masterpiece, and one of progressive rock best efforts ever. Difficult to discuss about this album, but some major points must be highlighted here. The arrangements are much more electrified and the main structure of the album are very tight and polished, making this record a delightful listening experience. Despite the excellent production, all members worked at their best and the instruments are sounding quite great, including Collins hard-beat drumming and Rutherford airy-basses. Banks dominates the album in some way, creating really atmospheric moments on synthesizers, an ideal "carpet" for Gabriel´s metallic and sometimes acid vocals. Altough too long, and almost boring, the recording is able to rescue the listener from the mud with TOO MANY catchy moments to call this album a lost of time.

An obligatory listening.
