Foxtrot is a top 4* album. The Lamb is a good 3* album.

I love both, but The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is either my favorite or second favorite Genesis album.

Foxtrot is my favourite album of all time but The Lamb is pretty close to be just as great!

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

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.

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

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.

Foxtrot is very good although Supper drags on a bit. The Lamb is better as a single album. A number of songs get on my nerves due to the ugly vocals. I really dislike Back in NYC, while the title song becomes annoying after a minute or so and so does It. As a single album it would be a strong listen, but I still prefer Foxtrot. I made The lamb a single album with this track list:
 
cuckoo cucoon
in the cage
the grand parade
hairless heart
counting out time
chamber of 32 doors
anyway
the supernatural anaesthetist
the lamia
the colony of the slippermen
riding the scree

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.
