5 stars The Lamb is quite a killer, 1 & ½ hour of stunning music and including a story with not only one, but infinite numbers how the story goes, it's all about your point of view! (You could sell this album in the TV-Shop commercials :))

Everything has been said about this wonderful album, it contains many different kind of music; prog (In The Cage, The Lamb Lies.., Fly On A Windshield etc.), pop (Counting Our Time, Liliywhite Lilith) and even some proto-punk. All extremely well done.

My point of view about the story is that when Rael dies in the beginning of the album, NY City goes to total chaos and Rael struggles his worst fears (klaustrofobia in 'In The Cage' for example, or his first time what went completely wrong in 'Counting Out Time') in the afterlife, to save his brother John. There is so much to talk about it the story, but I don't have the time to say every little aspect of the story. But I will say that if you have not heard this album, you don't know what you have missed, yes it requires lots of listen to get into! And oh! Sides 3 & 4 are as good as 1 & 2!
