Peter Gabriel’s conceptual lyricism reached its apex on the double-length Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. An epic undertaking even for a band used to 10- and 20-minute songs, Lamb weaves over 20 songs into one long suite ostensibly about the tribulations of its urban protagonist, Rael. The group achieves an unprecedented level of focus and force here. No matter how complex the guitar and keyboard themes get, they’re driven home with enough force and conviction to make them instantly memorable. The panoramic scale of Gabriel’s lyrics is easily equal to the grandeur of the music, making this at once Genesis’ most hard-edged and most complicated album. From the lush sweep of the opening title track to the almost Beatlesque Brit-pop of “Counting Out Time,” Genesis is at the top of its compositional game throughout Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Having thoroughly topped himself with this release, Gabriel subsequently quit the group, leaving Phil Collins to take over as vocalist for the next phase of the Genesis story.
