Topic: Trespass OR Nursery Cryme? Posted: March 25 2015 at 01:30 |
I've showered a lot of love on Trespass in a variety of threads in the past. There's nothing shameful in it not being the equal of Nursery Cryme. It's still a rare gem.

I think of Trespass as a "nascent" album. Like "Time and a Word," it reveals a band in the process of becoming something, but not having arrived yet. The songs are still held back by fairly conventional ideas and forms.

I really love some of Genesis' music. However, I think that a lot of their albums are overrated; that probably puts me in the minority here at Prog Archives. I think that Trespass is definitely one of their best.

Trespass is consistent. Nursery has about 3 mediocre tracks
|
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Nursery Cryme fairly easily. Trespass is a great album, but NC is just a ste forward in quality and has Phil on the drums!

Trespass is my favourite Genesis album. It somehow does things for me the others don't. And by comparison, Trespass is a more cohesive record than Nursery Cryme.

I have to go for Nursery Cryme here because (a) it has the better songs - Musical Box, Hogweed, Salmacis and (b) it was the first prog album I heard, I think it was the bizarre stories about killer plants and people cutting their toes off for tea that first intrigued me.
And Musical Box has the best ending to a prog song ever.

Cryme is simply a better album and a higher evolutionary phase in Genesis music that would be better realized on Foxtrot and SEbtP.

Nursery Cryme...no brainer. Now if it had been between Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot, that would be a pickle

Thank you for supporting independently produced music

I guess I have become the voice of the people on this one then.

Not that Trespass is bad album. On the contrary. But it isn't on par with Nursery Cryme. I've always counted Trespass as a start album of their sound and compositions (after the first one FGTR), but the classic line-up and true Genesis songs style is to be found only at NC. Musical Box is one of their best songs they ever wrote and there are another great ones on the NC album (Seven Stones, The Return Of Giant Hogweed or Fountain of Salmacis). My vote goes proudly to NC without slightest hesitation :-)
