"all other Gabriel Genesis over Lamb, Lamb the song is good, the rest is IDK too glossy maybe"
Too much in the way of consistently strong and cohesive song writing maybe? ;) That's the main thing that separates The Lamb from the rest of the Gabriel albums, well that and the fact that it's distinctly less typical of prog and all the better for it.
Also I can't understand how anyone could think the title track is the best song on the The Lamb, like seriously it's not even close to the best.

Fly on a Windshield has to be one of my top picks, though it's probably an unpopular opinion.

The Lamb is full of classic Genesis songs. Only the first half of ''The Waiting Room'', ''Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats'' and ''Ravine'' are more ''insignificant''. But these are all very short songs. Classic album.

listened to most of Lamb last night, yes fine it is great, not that I said it wasn't, still pretty glossy though, to gabriel's taste I think

How can "glossy" even be a negative in the context of that album though? The fact that it's more polished and musically refined is one of it's greatest strengths when compared to the albums that preceded it.

seems less glossy than selling or foxtrot to me
|

Depends on your definition of glossy I guess.

What the hell is supposed to mean "glossy" in this context? wankery?
|
| |
i'm going with your definition: "polished and musically refined"
|
| |
Oh well then I definitely can't agree with you then lol

The variety of the material on Lamb, the fact that not every track there is "essential" (in the sense that not all are completely needed to tell the story/create the experience), the ambiguous story all make it less polished/perfected than Foxtrot or Selling, which, in my eyes, had a very clear sense of what they wanted to accomplish and did it with precision. Also at least on my version Lamb's production is "muffled", as if it the music was played behind a wall or something, whereas my versions of Foxtrot and Selling have a crystal-clear sound.
