So glad I found you guys. I “spent” my Friday night with you reviewing it and it was a blast. So nice to see new young people digging this kind of music with emotion and musical touches. Shout out to you.

Guilherme Silveira

And, by the way, even Peter doesnt know what The Lamb really means. He gave an interview about the latest 50th aniversary release of the lamb saying just that. Asked about what the history of Rael means he said "Who the fuck knows?"So i think each one of us gets the meaning of what we actually want. Because even Peter doesnt know what the lamb means. So funny. This report is from september 25.

NicknLex

😂😂😂 Good to know! Thanks for sharing your info and time with us!

Loved to revisit this album that I have known for so long with you guys, Genesis is truly one of a kind. Didn’t know this illustrated version, it was really made well. Looking forward to the next album you guys will do, I hope it’s something of PT 😉

Luke D

This same illustrator created a video for Supper's Ready as well. I watched it after watching your reaction to Supper's Ready. It's pretty amazing too.

Lee Haskin

What a TREAT! Prior to this, I had only watched a handful of these videos, just to my very favorite tracks so this was completely enjoyable. I think you definitely missed a lot in the music though, and I would be interested to hear what you think after giving it another listen without the videos. Because this was done as a concept album, there are some recurring musical themes and vocal themes which are just brilliant. Many times I have listened to this from start to finish, and probably because I know it so well the time flies by and it's over before I realize it. This album does get me very emotional in spots (just like all early Genesis does), as I recall a lot of memories through music. "Anyway" has always been one of my favorites from this. Also, "Grand Parade" - that build, OMG! And of course "The Lamia" is just a gem. :) Oh and as for where to go next... I know a lot of fans say "Selling England By the Pound" but there are a couple of pieces I personally could do without on that album. For me, Foxtrot is the best (you've already heard half of that - Supper's Ready). Side one is equally perfect, though in a different way. I would also say "Nursery Cryme" as it contains the EPIC piece "The Musical Box" and the brilliant "Fountain of Salmacis." I don't think any of their earlier albums will disappoint! The first 2 without Peter are fantastic as well. "And Then There Were 3" is the album after Steve Hackett left, and there are some great tracks but much less prog than before. I would recommend "Down and Out," the album opener - it's a real powerhouse! And "Snowbound" which is very similar in mood and feel to "Ripples." It will put a lump in your throat! Thank you for this, it was awesome!

I forgot about Genesis for years until you two brought it back into my life. I do have all their LPs in my collection, just didn't have time over the years to get back to them. I really enjoyed this! Brought forth some unforgettable memories!You guys are amazing, and looking forward to the next poll to vote on. Much love and respect.

Debra Brabenec

It was so great to listen to the whole album with you! The movie was so well done- I wasn't sure if I would like it but I really did. I thought that you would comment on the last piece,"It", because it is such a big contrast to the rest of the album. I love the energy of that song so much! Back in the days when I waitressed, there were favorite songs I would play right before work and "It" was one of them! I'm glad Lex's back held up okay! 🎵❤️🎵

Walter Gill

Hey Guys, I'm so Glad that you love this album as much as you do, But, Did you know that they also recorded a live version of this album believe it or not and plus when they were still active without Peter they still perform songs from "Lamb" such as In The Cage & Carpet Crawler during the mid to late "70's or so!! I'll going to send you that live link for you to check and or to react to and also I'm going to send you that In The Cage Medley witch uses parts of at least 3 songs from this album that you must react to asap!! Can't wait to hear from you soon!! Thanks & Keep Rockin'!! - <3 <3

Richard Dobson

Well, that was wonderful! It's a long haul, 95 minutes, so well done and thank you Alexia for being so strong. Nick, I usually put on my headphones, lie on my bed, and let the story unfold musically and lyrically! I must admit it has been a while since I listened to 'The Lamb' all the way through, but what struck me most was the poetry in Peter's lyrics. Kudos to the animator because it did help a lot. This was the culmination of PG's story telling with Genesis, although the band continued with this style on their next three albums. In fact, even on 'Duke', which is considered by some to be the album that transitioned the band into the mainstream behemoth that they became, their initial plan was to include a whole side-long suite, in the same vein as 'Supper's Ready', but they decided against that plan and split the songs amongst others on the album. 'The Lamb' was the only album where only one band member wrote the lyrics (Peter), and it created much tension between him and the rest of the band. Added to that, Peter was wanting to expand his artistic horizons into other fields such as movies, and doubted whether the band would allow him to do that. There were other issues, such as Peter's wife having problems with the birth of their first child, and Peter's perception of the band's indifference to his problems and expecting him to fulfil his obligations to them. In typically English fashion, they didn't all sit down and thrash out the problem, but let misunderstandings fester and grow until PG quit at the end of the first U.S. tour promoting 'The Lamb'. Such a shame, but c'est la vie, if that hadn't happened. we wouldn't have had Peter's brilliant solo career! Which, by the way, we have hardly touched on the channel. Hint, hint. For a shorter reaction, I would suggest the whole first side of 'Foxtrot'. as you have already done 'Supper's Ready'. Or, the whole of 'Nursery Chryme'. It's all good! Thanks guys, it's great to be a member of 'La Familia'.

Walter Gill

Hey Guys, Here's that live version that I had found early yesterday and hope that you could react to it or maybe you can find a better quality of the live of "Lamb"!! Can't wait to hear from you soon!! Thanks & Keep Rockin'!! - <3 <3 Here's that link to the live version of "Lamb" ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKS9np3GoWc

Walter Gill

Hey Guys, Here's that 2nd. video that I'd told you that I'm going to send to you to react on your channel and hopefully you both will love as much as I do!! Can't wait to hear from you soon!! Thanks & Keep Rockin'!! - <3 <3 Here's the link for that In The Cage Medley; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_12_-jzqOlE

Finally got to this, and I think it a great choice doing the film (hadn’t seen it before but knew the story). You mentioned concept albums. There are so many, but I have a few to put on your radar: 1967 The Moody Blues “Days of Future Passed” You did the first half. Did you do the rest? 1972 Jethro Tull “Thick as a Brick” More along the line of your expectations 1976 Todd Rundgren “Initiation” Based on Alice Bailey’s “A Treatise on Cosmic Fire.” The LP was so packed with music that Todd included a warning: “Technical note: Due to the amount of music on this disc (over one hour), two points must be emphasized. Firstly, if your needle is worn or damaged, it will ruin the disc immediately. Secondly, if the sound does seem not loud enough on your system, try re-recording the music onto tape. By the way, thanks for buying the album." 1976 Jon Anderson “Olias of Sunhillow” Jon’s first solo album. Utter beauty.” Enjoy

Great Scott

I've still got to watch this reaction, but I will soon when I find a couple hours. (Soon.) I have seen this video before/recently -- I will admit that when I first got and listened to the album, I heard it, and it was very good, but I know I didn't really understand all the lyrics (and I had misheard some of them). This time, after watching the video with the lyrics -- I really understood what they said, what the story was behind the album, how it all fit together, and it finally became an actual story to me, instead of just a bunch of good songs that were arranged in a concept that I didn't really understand back then. Now I do, and I like the album even more, and can appreciate it. So thank you for reacting to it, in advance of my viewing it.

Tony Soblotne

Interesting note. This album uses pieces of other songs. Its like Peter Gabriel invented sampling here on this album! 1. In the Lamb lies down on Broadway (the song) they have the words and melody of the song On Broadway which was written by the drifters in 1963, and later made more famous when it was covered by George Benson in 1978 AFTER the Lamb. 2. In in the cage Rael is singing Raindrops keep falling on my head, a song done by B.J Thomas in 1969. 3. In the last song, It, Peter is singing bits of the song It's Only Rock N Roll but I Like it by the Rolling Stones, but changing the words to it's only knock and know all.

NicknLex

Thank you for being here Richard; we love your insightful comments and support! :) - Lex

Great Scott

got a chance to watch a couple hours ago. It was good to see/hear it again. I'm glad you stayed thru the whole thing, and took breaks as you needed to, it was worth it. Just for some additional references, near the end of side 3, the image of floating in water, that's of the Hudson River, and he's passing under the George Washington Bridge. Then it fades up into the stars in the sky -- that becomes the ceiling of the Main Concourse inside of Grand Central Terminal, and then becomes an image of the same. See here: https://www.grandcentralterminal.com/ (I would pass thru it almost daily when I was commuting to downtown Manhattan for about a decade.)

Great Scott

Special Note to NnL -- being the Steely Dan fans you both are, I don't recall if you've heard Charlie Freak from Pretzel Logic or not -- but here's the video Nathaniel did for that track. It's only 3 min or so, but worth a view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_gdPfytos8 it's sad, but a good job.

Cappy Petri

This was a great reaction - I haven't heard this whole album in decades. Now, as for concept albums, most of the first 4-5 Alan Parsons Project albums ARE concept albums and any of them are worth the listen. (best however, to start from the beginning - "Tales of Mystery...."

LaserLamb

Hey Nick & Alexia, glad that you treated yourself to this album. Important part of my youth & beyond. The illustrative narration is ok, but honestly, the version in the infinite ♾️ space in my head is much better. Yes, back when I was 15 or so, & my synapses were young & strong, I DID lay on my bed many a time with sweet Mary Jane enveloping my brain, & many times I hovered like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway....then.....BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!................. 45 years later, it's a different world, yet the best music reaches the ones who seek it out. One tidbit about the album I can share with you is, I remember hearing an interview with Peter Gabriel saying there was some pressure to wrap the album up & get it all recorded, & he wishes they had had more time to rehearse & tighten things up a little more. Peace & Love, Danny B. (Deeper Mind)

Carlos Regidor Iglesias

Encantado de veros disfrutar de uno de mis álbumes favoritos de toda mi vida. Cada vez que volváis a él descubriréis cosas nuevas. Es una obra maestra.

Gary Bearman

I was confused at first as I never heard of a Lamb movie... but it's really just a fan made creation. So, I LOVE Gabriel-era Genesis, but I've never been able to get past the position of Lamb just being too bloated of a story. It's like they took The Battle of Epping Forest from the far superior Selling England by the Pound and decided to make it 94 minutes instead of 12. It's just too much. A double album is wicked hard to pull off and have it be coherent and brilliant throughout, and while many of the component parts here are fantastic, I get bogged down with the (honestly, kind of a bummer) story every time on Lamb somewhere in the middle - all my favorite double albums don't try to do a 1 1/2 hour story - it's too difficult musically. The Wall pulled it off, but it gets very depressing (I could handle it a lot better when I was an angsty teenager). The Who tried to do it twice, and for me it's the same result, the whole is NOT greater than the sum of its parts. Brilliant double albums are possible when they keep it more varied and have enough inspiration - Tago Mago, Trout Mask Replica, The White Album, Tales from Topographic Oceans, Electric Ladyland, Blonde on Blonde, Dance of the Lemmings and a very small handful of others, but I can't include Lamb in that category.

Doug Fenske

Do Tales! Do Tales! Do Tales! You two are ready for the best Yes experience. Please do a session like this one with Tales From Topographic Oceans. Also, please don't try to watch any visuals with it. There's no need to have any distraction from the music.

David Hendry

The animation is too literal at times. There are so many metaphorical references and the images don't reflect this. I'd prefer to just listen to the album and read the story on the cover.

Robert White

Finally you get to hear Fly on a Windshield. One of Steve Hackett's finest.

Cary Levin

Great job on this one you two. I was reflecting on my youth when Nick expressed the difficulty of focusing on the music because of the imagery and lyrics. I remember clearly unwrapping this LP and eagerly listening. As usual I read everything in the gatefold cover, scrutinized the front and back imagery and everything else I could. When side four was over I still felt clueless! No matter the music, the feelings and the texture of the Genesis sound brought it all together for after a few listens. There is a you tube channel called Rael NYC you should check out. His Genesis documentaries are outstanding. His documentary video of The Story of TLLDOB can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os-F3DgjYis If you really want to dive down the rabbit hole then check out The annotated TLLDOB here: https://www.bloovis.com/music/lamb.html I don't get a vote but if I did I would recommend reacting to the live performance of Snow by Spock's Beard found here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KezElj_X57k&t=2738s Like the Lamb, Snow was the last studio release by Spock's Beard with main writer and vocalist Neal Morse before he left the band to go solo and do other projects. The Snow album was very well received but because Neal left the band shortly after its release they never toured it. In 2016 Neal invited all Spock's members past and present to perform the entire Snow album at Morsefest. When this show's DVD arrived at my mailbox I decided I would open it up and watch the first ten minutes because I was going out. Two hours later I was still sitting there! It really is that good! The story is as well but I won't spoil it for you here.

Jorge Blasco

No se rompan la cabeza con la historia o las letras del disco, en ese momento... 1974, estaban pasando 2 cosas, 1. habia una guerra de egos entre Banks y Gabriel, y otra, Gabriel estaba en un momento con un problema familiar, The Lamb es un disco fantástico, pero no es un disco integral de los 5 miembros de la banda como los 4 discos anteriores, o los 2 fantásticos posteriores con 4 miembros o el hermosisimo And Then... de 1978. The Lamb es un disco 50% Gabriel y 50% los otros 4 colaborando musicalmente con la historia (argumento de la película) de Peter. Hay mucha más musica majestuosa de Genesis (70/78) para que conozcan, y la van a amar. La trilogía que cierra el disco Wind & Wuthering (1976) es épica, palabra santa. Besitos a Marley ;)

Doug Grant

Hi both. I've followed you on Youtube since the beginning, but this is my first foray into your Patreon stuff. As a Genesis fanatic, I'm obviously over the moon that you've chosen this album. :-) As others have mentioned, apart from Gabriel, most members of the band found this a difficult album, conceptually. There was tension in the band, too, as Gabriel's wife was having a tough time during the birth of their first child, with things looking touch and go for a while, and the rest of the band have since admitted that they weren't perhaps as understanding as they could or should have been. It's baffling now to think that when the tour for this album started in the US, in November '74, the album still hadn't been released, so the audience was presented with the whole thing, from start to finish, never having heard it before! Putting the concept to one side, I think that musically the band are absolutely on fire on this album. Every single one of them was at the top of their game. Phil's touch on the drums is just sublime. I was lucky enough to see Genesis play four times on their recent tour during '21/'22, including the final three dates in London. The show always finished with Carpet Crawlers, so, as you can imagine, there wasn't a dry eye in the house on the last night at what was the final ever Genesis show. Keep up the great work, both of you. I'm pretty envious of you, actually, as I'd love to hear these records again with fresh ears and start my journey over again! All the best, Doug

James

I really enjoyed your reaction to this album. Thank you both. I agree with Nick that it’s too long. I recognise that this Genesis’s most experimental and creative album, but it would not be in my top five Genesis albums as it is needs to be listed to from start to finish. It was Peter’s swan song as he wrote all the lyrics, as he was trying to impress a movie producer, to get the Album made into a film, which never happened. Selling England by the pound, A Trick of the tail, Duke, Foxtrot and Wind and Wuthering are better albums IMO.

Jim led50jl

Hi guys, Well I have been listening to this album since the 70's and the only animation I have seen was for "In the cage" on u.t. so this was also a new experience for me. I enjoyed every minute and the time went faster for me as the breaks were edited out. The keyboard instrumental moments a good number of them are used in the live version of "In the Cage" during the medley and it's amazing ! Check out "When In Rome ..Live" 2007. Great album reaction thankyou. Byeee Jim X

Michele

Thanks, Tony. Your comment on songs referenced in Lamb was appreciated. It covered what I was going to say. ✨😉

Gary Bearman

Can you imagine even attempting to do a video to Tales? That'd be a very difficult task indeed!

Matt Leppard

It’s not any sort of official video, but it does a good job of contextualizing the music. This was my favorite Genesis album, and remains so. Like you, Lex, I love The Wall in all its formats. This isn’t like that album at all though it’s a tie between The Wall and Close to the Edge plus The Lamb for me. First heard at 15; still loved at 52’

B Mac

If I had to Choose between The Wall or Tales from Topographic Oceans or The Lamb for a 4 sided epic it would be the Lamb every time followed very closely by TFTO

Franck Thibault

That was my 1st time listening to the album, it was a bit long, but overall very good! As far as the animation, it was really well done: I guess I took it in more as a movie than an album, so it didn't bother than much that I wasn't 100% focused on the music, it was like a score of a movie... The only other animation, although it was more of a cartoon book setting than a cartoon, was the 2112 version that is really amazing, but it's only the song, not the album.

Francis Ghanime

Definetly an album that is hard to digest in one sitting. Especially with the movie. It's quite dense and eclectic musically, and the story is hard to assimilate. Still my favorite Genesis album (perhaps I'm saying this now because I hadnt gone back to it in a while). Always enjoying you reacting to Genesis, kudos on taking this on.

vanon

very well stated... it took me a long time to sort out my feelings about this one, i think because it was painted in colors i could not really see or comprehend until i matured a bit... very esoteric in style, structure and meaning, much like topographic oceans... i do like the animation for it, as it really did help me see it more cohesively - still amazed at what this band accomplished with peter while they were all still so young...

Rick Kress

While I think the Barlam animation is fantastic, with many clever Genesis references embedded, it tends to make the music a 'sound track'. For a first listen I would never recommend it. The music is too good to be so relegated. If any one is interested I recently completed an essay on this album's lyrics with a brief history of Genesis and my take on their music philosophies, for lack of a better term. I believe I have a good handle on what Peter was trying to say with The Lamb.

Rick Kress

If you want to read my take let me know how to get you the PDF. RK

Dale Dekker

One should listen to this in a sensory deprivation tank, or himalayan salt bath, or under the covers in a darkened room clutching your teddy bear (or porcupine).

Arnie Porter

It’s a good video as far as these things go but music from this period was meant to be listened to not watched. I agree with Nick that it creates a distraction from fully appreciating the music and takes away the need for the listener to use their imagination. Reading the album liner notes was the way we initially learned the story. IMO, MTV coming out in the early 80’s with music videos detracted from the music while making visual presentation a bigger focus for the audience than the music itself.

Christopher Claypool

What a fantastic way to put it!!! “Video killed the radio star”
