Not a place to turn for heavy guitars, if that's what you're craving. Definitely synth dominated.
To be direct, yes, I like The Lamb a LOT more than I like The Wall.

: Unlike Quad, I've already heard a couple of
: songs off the Lamb. These are:
:
: Title Track-Awsome, needs more guitar though
:
: Counting Out Time-Love that riff, for a
: time, it was the only Gabe-era tune I liked.
:
: Carpet Crawlers-Beutiful, even if the remake
: IS better, I heard a theory that it was
: about the sperm trying to get into the egg
: during conception, if true, the lyrics make
: perfect sence.
:
: The Lamia-Piano balla-*snore snore,* huh? oh
: cool a guitar lead... fade out already?
: NNOOOOOO!!!!!
:
: So yeah, it ain't the first Ive heard of the
: Gabe-era, is The Lamb better than The Wall?

: Yeah, The Lamb takes some time to appreciate
: it to its fullest.
:
: Personally, I can't even listen to The Wall
: anymore. Quadrophenia outdoes The Wall
: ten-fold in managing to capture teen angst
: PERFECTLY. And yes, in my personal opinion,
: it is the best Who money can buy.

: eh. im 16 and my preference of the lamb over
: the wall is basically.. well..
:
: id give:
:
: Quadrophenia 10(15)
: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 9(14)
: The Wall 8(11)
:
: I would get quadrophenia first because: it
: IS definitely better (even if by not an
: astounding amount, in my opinion), its
: easily the best studio Who album (and I
: prefer it to the live ones, but thats just
: me), its far more accessible. The Lamb is a
: mess, musically and lyrically. However,
: it's a beautiful mess, and has a TON of
: fantastic songs (but just as many pointless
: instrumentals). Definitely get Quad first
: though.
:
: and John has a point, you may want to wait
: on the Lamb. At least don't make it your
: first Gabriel album. I'd do Foxtrot first.
: or even Genesis Live because it shows all
: the good sides and none of the bad (not that
: Foxtrot has any bad at all - Genesis Live
: ALSO has "Hogweed" and
: "Musical Box")

: I wouldn't have appreciated The Lamb if I'd
