5 stars Nursery Cryme is the second album I have purchased and the third I have listened to. This album is incredible! I love this more than any of the other ones I had listened up to that time. I purchased this and Foxtrot at the same time in Philly (my favorite city!).

Songs:

1. Musical Box- Nothing short of a masterpiece! The words are good, playing is surperb, and Peter's singing is incredible.

2.For Absent Friends- It's a nice mellow song sung by Collins. It's good none the less.

3. Return of the Giant Hogweed-This is second only to the Musical Box. The intro is awesome, and it also reminds me of some kind of classical music (though I can't put my finger on it) and the drumming during the intro is unbelieveable to me. Anyways, moving on, the words are good, and the solo (both flute and guitar) are great.

4.Seven Stones-This, again is a nice,mellow,and relaxing song.

5.Harold the Barrel-A very quirky song, IMO. The words are cool, and the song, overall is very light and uplifting. "We can help, We can 'elp you!" is probably the funniest part of the song, other than the "oye,oye,oye,oye" part.

6.Harlequin- I don't remember much of this song, so please forgive on this.

7.The Fountain of Salmacis-A great song, however, I hate the fading in and out, or at least, on the remastered version. It fades away so much that you can't even hear. It gets on my nerves.

So, as always, another great Genesis album. This is the album to have for any Genesis fan/prog lover. Enjoy!
