Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

Foxtrot is an important and essential progressive release, perhaps the best album Genesis recorded. The Lamb contains one great album-worth of material (side 1 and 2, basically), and another full record that is a bloody, boring mythological mess.

Foxtrot is more consistent and gets my vote
The Lamb has awesome tracks and some filler IMO

I think I'll be taking Lamb. I never cared for Foxtrot. Sure, I wish Lamb had been condensed into a single album, but even with all that filler popping up, I'd still take it over Foxtrot, an album that only ever bored me.

Foxtrot is my favourite Genesis album, The Lamb is on #5 or #6.

Not only a flawless album, but FOXTROT is also the last release in which Genesis consolidates that dense and mysterious atmosphere, product of the interplay between Hackett and Banks.
SEBTP is too friendly in comparison with previous releases and The Lamb is one of a kind.
Even when the five Gabriel Prog era albums are masterpieces, I stay with the trilogy Trespass - Nursery Cryme - Foxtrot.

They both have one. The Foxtrot one is just invisible too.

The Lamb has some of Genesis’ best moments (“The Lamia,” “Carpet Crawlers,” “Anyway”), but some sections certainly lag. On the other hand, Foxtrot houses some of the most sacred parts of the Genesis canon.
Foxtrot by a hair

They change places with me. They´re both faves of mine, but lately I´ve been more into lamb chops.
