Selling seems incredibly sloppy at times but that's just me.

"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."

I said "musically refined", meaning instrumentally and also in terms of song structures.

song structures seem less polished on the lamb as well - you have instrumental interludes that arguably don't go anywhere, you have an experimental jam, you have songs that "end before they start" (don't have time to breathe), weird ambient appendages ("In the Cage" is what I'm talking about), etc. Seems messy to me. Don't care about the instrumental thing you mention.

Even the instrumentals/interludes (bar The Waiting Room) are far more refined structurally and musically than a lot of the band's instrumental passages on previous albums.

glossy meaning overproduced, not wankery, I guess it is too perfect sounding if that makes any sense prob. not to you guys, and def. not as overproduced as selling or this, IMO

Watchers and Supper's Ready are probably among the best bookends to be on an album

Honesty Lamb is my favorite Genesis album. Not because of the musicianship itself, but because of the otherworldy concept behind it. Foxtrot is the most interesting progressive outing by Genesis (very closely followed by Selling England), but with Lamb they managed to create a rather unorthodox and surreal opus that (in my own personal opinion) has withstood the test of time as the quintessential surrealist concept album.
