NURSERY CRYME

A good album by Genesis, yet not great. The main problem with this album, in my opinion, is that there are too few realy standout tacks. "The Musical Box" and "The Return of the Giant Hogweed" are the only really GREAT tracks on this album, the rest are just good. Not to say that the band doesn't seem to be trying on the tracks, for this album really does sound like pre-"Lamb" Genesis, however, maybe it's TOO pre-"Lamb" Genesis. That is to say, the music doesn't sound as risky on this album as it does on other later Genesis album. They seem to be playing it safe. I find that that gives this album it's own individual sound in the Genesis discography, however, and is a very good album.
