Disc One of Lamb blows just about everything out of the water but Disc Two goes AWOL imo. |
Disc 2 is still brilliant, there's just a bit some filler in stuff like "The Waiting Room", "Ravine", and "Silent Sorrow". Some great songs though, especially "Anyway", "Colony Of Slippermen", "Riding The Scree", etc. but there's no way it could keep up with the standard of disc 1  |
The Lamia is as brilliant as anything on Disc 1 IMHO.
Anyway, I voted for The Lamb because I think it simply blows the other two albums away. The other two albums are one-dimensional and offer nothing remotely moving to these ears.

The Lamia is one of my 5 fave Genesis songs

All 3 have great moments and not so great moments for me
could vote for any of them
DT I guess, just because it has the least votes

As a consistent concept piece, and an enjoyable listen, Quadrophenia is nigh on impossible to beat, in my book. I'd rate it as one of the best if not the best concept album of all time, and certainly one of the greatest albums. As much as I love The Lamb, it just can't compete. My limited experience with Dream Theater has not yet lighted upon Scenes From A Memory, so perhaps my vote isn't quite fair, but given my superlative esteem for Quadrophenia, and my lukewarm take on Dream Theater, I can't imagine I'd place it higher.

I don't think it's a weak effort at all. In fact, it took me several years to realize it's brilliance, but I never thought 'This is Genesis' weakest effort.' That belongs to all of those f****** pop albums they made. If you would pick one of those pathetic slaps of commercial waste over The Lamb than you need to have your prog credentials wiped clean.

Not to confuse things here: I consider the lamb to be the weakest from the Hackett era. It is far superior to all post Hackett outputs. Hope I can keep my prog credentials!

The Who I must confess are not a band I am familiar with (of course I heard a song here and there but don't own any albums). I love DT, but somehow Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory does not really excite me much. I like all Genesis outputs till Hackett left and consider the Lamb to be the weakest one. But compared to DT's Metropolis it still is a winner. So my vote goes there.

The Lamb is great but Quadrophenia just beats it in my book

I would say it's really close for me, too, but I have a difficult time just choosing one favorite album, because I simply can't ignore Pink Floyd, Yes, or King Crimson.

Lamb, easily.
SFaM happens to be the album that marked a downturn in my interest in DT.

Never into The Who, and Metropolis is just fine but no more than this for me, so The Lamb by miles.
