NURSERY CRYME

I must admit that I am not a symphonic prog guru- and who knows- I probably never will be- but over the last few months I have added a lot of sym prog to my collection- That being said- Genesis is a band im trying to get into- and I must say I have some mixed feeings. I am beginning to love SEBTP- I can see how it is a 5 star album- no doubt

I would not put NC in the same league- not even close actually. !st of all, the production- and sound quality is horrible! Its really tough for me to get past the muddy sounding, well, everything. I know it was produced and recorded in 1971- but c'mon! Other albums from that time sound MUCH better.

I'm not one for long reviews- or song by song reviews- so I'll keep this short- "Musical Box" in my opinion, is a horrible song- I tried listening to it about 10 times- and it just sounds bad- the guitar parts- melody- (or lack there of) just doesnt work for me- being a 10 minute song (and 1st)- it just doesnt set a good tone for the rest of the album. The other tracks are decent- but very forgetable- SEBTP stick with me- where as this album fades away moments after I listen to it.......

I can see this album possibly at 2.5 stars- but I can't give ut that- 2 stars for me.
