ABACAB

I don't see why everyone hates this album. Sure, it's different than early Genesis, but it's not worse. "Abacab" and "Dodo/Lurker" are two of Genesis' greatest songs, and I couldn't find a single bad song on this album if I tried. Collin's voice is much better than the falsettos in Nursery Cryme and the lyrics are much more interesting than when halfway through "The Musical Box" they break into a chorus of Old King Cole (many octaves too high). Maybe it's just because I heard this album before their early days, but I find Abacab to be Genesis' best album, though it is short of masterpiece status.
