What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

GENESIS  "the lamb lies down on broadway"

i was talking to my neighbour this morning and he was telling me he just received the 50th anniversary vinyl boxset of this album.
he also asked if i was familiar with it, to which i replied, im not familiar with the Gabriel years of Genesis.
he suggested i could listen to the album with him as he had just unboxed it.
so i did...
jeez!,
90 odd minutes was a long time.
i didnt really understand the concept of the album even when reading the insert information, which makes sense because Phil Collins was once asked by a music journo what it was about and he replied "ive got no idea, you best ask peter"
so the actual album:
i liked a decent amount of the songs but some of it i didnt care for.
there were three standout tracks for me (yes i know its meant to be heard in its entirety) so three sections/pieces stood out and all three were in the first half of the album.
the album is passable and would probably grow on me with more listens just as Gabriel's solo material has and does
album would score 2.0 as a first up listen which is pretty good for a first up listen and that means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

standout sections:

Cuckoo Cocoon:  Cuckoo Cocoon (2025 Remaster)
In The Cage:  Genesis - In The Cage (Official Audio)

best for me though is this one:





he has now advised me to try "selling england by the pound" if i have time
