I love The Lamb, being a double album it's not the most consistant Genesis album, but the sheer ambition makes even the lesser tracks interesting and it has one of the weirdest and most interesting stories of any rock opera record, I love that weird mystique and theatricality Gabriel added to the band.
Though I won't deny that sometimes the lyrics get really over the top during the second half, The Colony of Slipperman is about how the protagonist turns into a slipperman (aka giant hemmerhoid) and the only "cure" is castration and removal of his manhood, this is pretty well emphasised by the big ripping sound at the 3:50 mark, and then at the end of the song a Raven swoops down and steals his "Shoobedoobe". ![]() The title track, Cuckoo Cacoon, In The Cage, Back in NYC, The Carpet Crawlers, Lilywhite Lilith, Supernatural Anaesthesit, The Lamia and It are the highpoints of the album. Those are brilliant songs. It has some of the tightest musicianship the band has ever done, especially Hackett's guitar work. It's also worth noting that Brian Eno was involved with this album and it does have a lot of weird ambient moments for a Genesis record. It's probably their most challenging LP for that reason.

EDIT I gave this another spin, and Hackett does have some fine guitar parts throughout. Eno is more or less like the 6th man.
