I'll keep it short but sweet

The lamb lies down on broadway is highly overrated

The lyrics have some enigmatic imagery and are sometimes a lot of fun (gabriel still bringing in his unique sense of humour in some spots) but don't really work as a cohesive story.

The music is fantastic, but would have worked far better on a single-disc album as a lot of the stuff is retread quite a lot.

Overall I prefer A trick of the tail quite a bit more than this. Yes I said that.

People tend to idealize this album I think for what it means historically: Last album with Gabriel, only double concept album from the band etc. and we all WANT to love it, I love a lot of it, but not all of it

nuff said.
