Screwtape2
Blue Crack Addict
Both are double albums progressive in nature. Both tell a complex story and lead to groundbreaking tours. So which is better?
To me it is Lamb for its musical creativity and for superior lyrics on the part of Peter Gabriel. David Gilmour can’t compete with Tony Banks when it comes to creating mood and soundscapes. While both albums use instrumentals to advance the story, the ones on Lamb are far more creative than those on The Wall. Lyrically, Peter Gabriel is simply poetic. The people and locales are also more vivid on Lamb:
Rael stands astonished doubting his sight,
Struck by beauty, gripped in fright;
Three vermilion snakes of female face
The smallest motion, filled with grace.
Continually pacing,
With nonchalant embracing,
Each orifice disgracing
And one facing me moves to say "hellay".
So which do YOU think is better?
