NURSERY CRYME

"Nursery Cryme" really is the groundbreaking album people say it is. Steve and a much needed Phil join here making the band complete. They waste no time in creating magic here. Is "The Musical Box" the greatest song or what? If not, it's up there. "For Absent Friends" utilizes Phil. It's awesome to see how far he came as a singer. He's good here, but his voice is so young and undeveloped. He's only 19/20 yrs old here. They all are. That is the most impressive part. I'm sixteen and I get scared to think that they were doing this when they were only three years older than me. "Giant Hogweed" is a funny little tune. Very dark. "Seven Stones" is very underrated/overlooked. Ha, Oh "Harold the Barrel". How you make me laugh. Pure geni(s)us. "Harlequin" is the perfect song for the feel of the album. It's light and mystical. "The Fountain of Salmacis" is such a great finish. Steve is absolutely on fire here. Don't miss this album please. It almost defines the term "Masterpiece".
