Storm Thorgerson'o komentaras Genesis albumo viršelio koncepcijai paaiškinti:

In their continual striving for artistic perfection Genesis, a very English band from late 60s, and from public school would you believe, attempted a 'grand travaille' called "The Lamb Lies Down in Broadway", more an opera type thing than a rock n' roll LP. Strong on narrative and large in sweep the great opus decreed a change in presentation... Genesis ditched their previous fantasy surrealist painterly covers in favour of cool photography, and our good selves at Hipgnosis. The story for this album concerned a central character called Rael and his adventures in pursuit of self realisation, so to speak. We tried to distil the essence of 'Lamb' in a sequence of photos featuring Rael undergoing a set of experiences representative of the songs on the album. These photographic tableaux were then connected like the frames of a comic strip, a fantasy sequence executed not in normal illustration but in cold hard photography, picture alongside picture, flat on the surface - a surface from which Rael 'steps out' in order to look back at himself and gain a different perspective. I look back now like Rael stepping out and find I quite quite like it. A little stiff and self conscious in presentation perhaps but not uninteresting. I like still the hand gripped tightly round the frame divide as if it were a real wooden post.

Minimum Gabrielio indelio i albumo kuryba ( muzikine prasme - lyriksai jo) ir grupe sutvere rimciausia savo kudiki - progresyvu savo konceptualumu bei teatraliska albuma. Neveltui Gabrielis vilesi is jo padaryti filma. Deja.

 Rinktis megiamiausia daina kazkaip komplikuota, nes visas albumas klausomas kaip vientisa daina. Vis tiktai isskirciau Carpet Crawlers ir Fly on the Windshied bei Riding the Scree.
