The album’s ambition—both musically and conceptually—has made it a cornerstone of the genre. This 50th-anniversary edition celebrates everything that makes “The Lamb” so special while offering new ways to explore its rich history.
As Alexis Petridis writes in the liner notes: “Perhaps it makes sense that an album as complex as “The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway” has an equally complex history… It’s hard not to be struck by the fact that [the band members] seldom agree about it. Some think it’s the best album of their career; others see it as a brave but flawed experiment. Whatever your view, there’s every chance that The Lamb is all those things—flawed experiment, career highlight, prog masterpiece—at once.”
