The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Peter Gabriel wrote a broad, strange story about a street kid from Puerto Rico moving through a distorted version of New York City. This record stands as the closing chapter for the initial formation of the band.

The music uses heavy, testing textures typical of art rock in the middle of the decade. Listeners can detect the internal pressure and artistic disagreement between the members, which created a dark, film-like mood throughout this difficult progressive project.
