NURSERY CRYME

A fantastic album with a broad range of good compostions. Musical box is certainly the best song on the album. One of best first songs on any album. I also love Seven Stones, Harold the Barrel and Fountain of Salmacis. The final track the most sophisticated after Muscial Box or maybe even more so. The story line is great. One reason to love or hate prog is the content of songs like the Fountain of Salmacis. Certainly nothing like its predecessor Harold.

Although I'm partial to trespass, Nursery Cryme is of superior quality. The songs are more distinct and memorable. And the first and last tracks surpass significantly anything on the previous album. And this paved the way for some of my favorite albums of all time. Namely Foxtrot and even better the Lamb.
