'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway' marked the end of Peter Gabriel's time with Genesis in 1974, and many fans consider the sixth album to be the best of the band's first phase
The concept album is set in New York and tells the surreal story of a Puerto Rican named Rael who must save his brother
Gabriel's lyrics pose a great challenge to even the most well-intentioned listener: they are often cryptic and abstract, and it is virtually impossible to discern an understandable plot
Musically, however, 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway' covers a wide range of styles, including progressive rock, art rock, funk and jazz fusion
The album is characterised by complex rhythms, multi-layered melodies and dense instrumental layers, demonstrating the band's virtuoso musicality
The track 'The Carpet Crawlers' became a hit and 'The Land Lies Down On Broadway' is widely regarded as one of Genesis' most important and influential works, inspiring generations of progressive rock musicians
