Close. I like both very much, but Lamb gets my vote today.

like both but Trick is better to me.  Like every Genesis album, it has songs I don't like, but it has more that I like than Lamb (and less that I don't)

Woah... I’m genuinely surprised Lamb”s not running away with it. Voted TotT myself, but Lamb’s widely considered a classic, innit?

Every record with PG starting from NC onward stands over anything they've done after his department. I love ATotT and WaW, sure, but my vote goes to Lamb anyway. Easily and without hesitation.

Disc One of Lamb just about kills everything else in the prog universe . Disc Two goes off on a wander before coming back to the genius of Disc One. Overall still a great album. Trick is probably my favourite Genesis album after Foxtrot although it's close between those 2. Voted Trick obviously.

Precisely my position.

Trick is their best overall album IMO, the Lamb is certainly not far behind it. Both brilliant albums in their own right. The Lamb is an experiment, and a successful one, and in prog terms it's ticks most boxes. I love it, and don;t think it really contains anything I would call 'filler' including The Waiting Room.

Trick just about tops it. It's a collection of flawless songs, performed, produced and presented perfectly for my taste, which is why it gets my vote.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Proved they could hold their own and they came back with a more refined sound.


Agreed. Their survival as a band was on the line and Trick of the Tail had to be good or they would have likely not continued.

Disc 2 of lamb has more good songs than Disc 1. But I still prefer Trick
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

How can disc 1 be better when anyway and slipper are the best tracks?

Lamb beats Trick for me, although the best Genesis albums are SEBTP, then Foxtrot, then Nursery Cryme

Lamb is their most adventurous album and in many ways their most interesting but to me their most enjoyable is TOTT.

If I'm objective then it's Trick, but I have more of an emotional attachment to Lamb.. so didn't vote. Good poll though.

Back in NYC
In The Cage
Carpet Crawlers

those three tracks beats anything on Side Two imo quite easily

the rest are not bad

Humour in prog?
Counting at Time

Mellotron fans
Fly On A Windshield

Poignant thought provoking lyrics?
Chamber of 32 Doors

mainly though it all flows so well

The Lamb easily, great concept story and Disc 2 is as good as Disc 1 no matter what they say.
Love TOTT though.

In vinyl terms sides 1-3 of the Lamb are equally good IMO. Side 4 is the weakest.

(Along with Foxtrot) those are my favorite Genesis LP's but I vote for The Lamb.

My #2 album of all time.

Back in nyc is horrible imo. Anyway, Slipper and Lamia are comfortably the best for me. The cage is pretty solid. Played it yesterday. Good tune. I like cuckoo, lifeless and scree too
