Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is the sixth studio album by English Progressive Rock band Genesis, released on 22 November 1974 through Charisma Records in the United Kingdom and Atco Records in the United States, marking their first release on the latter label (having previously had Charisma distribute their material since Nursery Cryme in both the UK and the US).After the commercial and critical success of Selling England by the Pound and its accompanying tour in Europe and North America, the band booked a three-month retreat in Headley Grange. Although it was a tough ordeal, not helped by the decrepit condition the workhouse was left in at the time and Peter Gabriel's estrangement with the band through his then-wife Jill going through a difficult pregnancy at the time, they decided on a double-album that would tell a concept storynote as a side note, Mike Rutherford suggested one based upon The Little Prince, but Gabriel turned it down; the theme would be revisited years later in Duke.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Gabriel, wishing to move the band away from their preestablished pastoral image, pitched a plot about Rael, a young half-Puerto Rican street kid from New York City who embarks on a surreal journey of self-discovery through a dream world. Concurrently, the music was made more aggressive, more surreal, and more improvisational, being pieced together from group jam sessions. It was after the allocated time in Headley Grange that they mixed and recorded the album in Wales, and Gabriel enlisted the assistance of Brian Eno for two of the tracks by way of synthesized vocal treatments.Around release of the album, Genesis played on a supporting tour in North America and Europe, playing the entire album and only doing a couple old material songs as an encore. It wasn't all rosy however, since the equipment and effects had been faulty from time to time, including the infamous Slipperman costume where Peter Gabriel found it hard to breathe or insert the microphone. Also, he informed the rest of the band that he was planning to leave at the conclusion of the tournote at the time, he was heavily disillusioned with the music industry and wished to be back with his family, which was 22 May 1975 in Besançon, France. The departure led to a drive to get a new frontman, with Phil Collins happy to just have the group be an instrumental band before being persuaded to take the reins for A Trick of the Tail. Gabriel himself would reemerge a couple years later, starting his solo career with his first self-titled album before diving further into the abstract aggression that he began exploring here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })There's an entire book that contains various interpretations of the story, as well as an illustrated adaptation on YouTube.The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was supported by two singles: "Counting Out Time" and "Carpet Crawlers" (retitled "The Carpet Crawlers"). | |

| The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The musical, lyrical and conceptual tone of the work was deliberately meant to be this trope, as compared to the very pastoral, English, whimsical (if often very ironic) sounds and styles they were known for prior to the work. They always had dabbled in dark (or dark-humoured) themes and harder-rocking sounds, but The Lamb was a full change of pace from, say, "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)". | |

All There in the Manual | |
| The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Music) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Because Peter Gabriel felt that the music alone wasn't enough to convey the story, he wrote a detailed summary of the album's plot that appears at the end of the liner notes, clarifying details that were left ambiguous in the songs (such as what the titular lamb represents — as it turns out, it means nothing at all). An In-Universe case appears in "Counting Out Time", where Rael gets all his information on foreplay from a book about erogenous zones. | |

| The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Music) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: In the synopsis of the album included in the liner notes, the narrator tells readers to "Keep your fingers out of my eye." It's likely that anyone holding the LP gatefold has their fingers on the mouthless portrait of Rael on the back cover. | |

Special Guest: A newly-solo Brian Eno provides vocal treatments (credited as "Enossification") on both "In the Cage" and "The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging"; he also let the band borrow some equipment. In exchange, he asked Phil Collins to play drums on his song "Mother Whale Eyeless" (whose parent album, Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy), was being recorded in the studio next to where this album was being mixed). | |

Boléro Effect: "The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging" makes use of this, starting with simple synthesizer chords with Peter Gabriel's vocals, then gradually layering in additional instrumental tracks and some additional vocal treatments courtesy of Brian Eno. | |

Split Personality | |

Split Personality: Phil Collins described the album as being fundamentally about this trope, exemplified by the myriad of dichotomies in Rael's life (Rael vs. John, masculinity vs. femininity, trust vs. distrust, etc.) and the convergence of them all at the album's end (at the time, merging was the go-to treatment for dissociative identity disorder). | |

Red Pill, Blue Pill: An unusually late instance happens in "The Light Lies Down on Broadway", where Rael sees an opportunity to return home and resume his earlier normal life. The song's lyrics show him caught between that and continuing his surreal journey, ultimately choosing the latter after finding John in danger. | |

Meaningful Echo: Several musical cues reappear throughout the album. The melody from the bridge of "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" is reused as the intro of "Carpet Crawlers". The beginning of "Back in N.Y.C." borrows from the beginning of "In The Cage". The riff from "Broadway Melody of 1974" reappears without warning in "Lilywhite Lilith". "The Light Dies Down on Broadway" begins with motifs from "The Lamia" and turns into a full-blown Dark Reprise of the title track. | |

In Touch with His Feminine Side: According to Peter Gabriel, a major element of the album's plot is Rael learning to embrace this trope, having previously spent his life attempting to project a hypermasculine image of himself. | |

Instrumentals: "Hairless Heart", "Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats", "Ravine". "Broadway Melody of 1974" isn't supposed to be, but thanks to an indexing error on most CD versions of the album, it often is. (It's intended to start with the line "Echoes of the Broadway Everglades", which is indexed on most CD versions as part of "Fly on a Windshield"). | |

Siamese Twin Songs: Most of Side 1 (the songs that aren't examples of this generally use Fading into the Next Song instead), the first three songs on Side 2, "Lilywhite Lilith" into "The Waiting Room", "Anyway" into "Here Comes the Supernatural Anaesthetist", "The Light Dies Down on Broadway" into "Riding the Scree", and "In the Rapids" into "it.". (So, roughly half the album, then.) | |

The Ending Changes Everything: The album ends with the reveal that Rael and John are the same person before they and everything around them dissolve into purple haze, drastically re-contextualizing much of Rael's adventure throughout the album and posing the question of how much of the story is meant to be taken literally. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Music) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: "it." doesn't seem to be about anything clearly related to the story, but the end of the story in the liner notes is pure crazy. Rael saves his brother John's life only to discover that he and John are actually the same person, they have an out-of-both-bodies experience, they are "outlined in yellow," and they and the scenery melt into purple haze. Figure that one out. One YouTube comment remarks the ending is about "having to destroy yourself in order to find a new [self]note hence the out-of-both-bodies experience and the joy that radiates afterwardnote hence the yellow outlining and the purple haze. Almost like the Phoenix rising out of ashes". | |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil | |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: "Back in N.Y.C." sees Rael attempt to exploit this trope by boasting about how his "fluffy heart is ready for rape" as part of the edgelord persona that he adopts on the streets of New York. Two songs later, however, it turns out that he's just talking out of his ass. | |

"Carpet Crawlers" was rerecorded in 1995 and released on the 1999 Greatest Hits Album Turn It On Again: The Hits, where it was appropriately titled "The Carpet Crawlers 1999". This new version is notable for being both Genesis' final single (despite being recorded before their last album) and the last time to date that all five members who worked on this album (Gabriel, Hackett, Rutherford, Banks, and Collins) performed together. | |

Lyrical Cold Open: "Broadway Melody of 1974" is supposed to start with the line "Echoes of the Broadway Everglades", although thanks to an indexing error on most CD versions of the album, it often doesn't. It's debatable whether this is a straight example of this trope due to Siamese Twin Songs. | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
| The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Music) / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: "Broadway Melody of 1974" depicts the Ku Klux Klan "[serving] hot soul food" and playing jazz standards, deriving dark humor from the image of one of the most infamous white supremacist organizations in the world freely indulging in Black culture. "Back in N.Y.C." features Rael proudly proclaiming that there's "no time for romantic escape when your fluffy heart is ready for rape." This braggadocios and misogynistic self-image is contrasted with the portrayal of his one and only sexual encounter before the album's main plot in "Counting Out Time" just two songs later. Not only is it implied to be consensual (thus instantly demolishing the idea of him being a "tough" rapist with no desire for romance), but Rael is also utterly clueless about sex. | |

Re-Cut | |
| The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Music) / int_c3ae004a | comment |
Re-Cut: While UK 8-track releases preserve the LP running order, a rarity for the format, "Broadway Melody of 1974", "Here Comes the Supernatural Anaesthetist", and "The Light Dies Down on Broadway" are each split into two parts due to them overlapping with the changeover from one program to the next. The US 8-track release swaps most of sides 2 and 3 to account for the limitations of the four-program configuration. Additionally, "Lilywhite Lilith" and "The Colony of Slippermen" are split into two parts due to them overlapping with the between-program changeover. Single-cassette editions of the album move "Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats" to track 11. While such reshuffling is normally to even out the lengths of each side, this change actually results in side 2 being considerably shorter than side 1, with the liner notes including a disclaimer that "there is an extended run off on Side 2." | |

Shout-Out: Plenty of the songs' lyrics shout out or paraphrase popular standards or rock oldies of The '50s and The '60s ("On Broadway", "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head", "Needles and Pins", etc.). "Broadway Melody of 1974" namedrops media studies philosopher Marshall McLuhan, comedian Groucho Marx, convict Caryl Chessman, and business magnate Howard Hughes. "Carpet Crawlers" mentions how "mild-mannered Supermen are held in Kryptonite," an open-faced nod to the comic book character Superman and his Achilles' heel. The first line of "The Colony of Slippermen" is "I wandered lonely as a cloud". "it." ends with the repeated line, "It's only knock and know-all, but I like it." The song also refers to purple haze. | |

"The Light Dies Down on Broadway" begins with motifs from "The Lamia" and turns into a full-blown Dark Reprise of the title track. | |

Alternate Album Cover | |
| The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Music) / int_fa77309d | comment |
Alternate Album Cover: The UK double-cassette release features the image of a brick corridor for the first tape and the portrait of a mouthless Rael for the second, both taken from the rear cover of the LP release. The French, Spanish, and Italian double-cassette releases, meanwhile, feature the same cover for both tapes, depicting all six photos from the front and back LP cover, with the observing Rael superimposed over the results. Later single-cassette releases use the brick corridor only. | |
