Trespass OR Nursery Cryme? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Cryme but really its mainly for Collins , less about Hackett and a slight preference overall for the songs . Fountain Of Salmacis betters anything on Trespass imo.

Trespass by nautical mile.

Yes, only by a hair.

Easy call - Nursery Cryme...

The 'Cryme, baby, the 'Cryme. First album of the classic line-up, and all.

TRESPASS easily. I think all of tracks of this Album are perfect. and don't forget "Looking for Someone" and "The Knife" released in 1970.

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 :-)

well I`m so into the two albums. but the vote went to Nursery Cryme...

Nobody's writing yet. Are they thinking about it or just passing the buck, remaining anonymous in the hidden corners of cyber space? Me, I prefer Nursery Cryme although I find Trespass an excellent album. It is because the Genesis sound is perfected by the inclusion of Hackett and Collins. The music is more ambitious and yet it succeeds. Trespass has some elements of the earlier psychedelic sound. That is not a problem in itself, but it sounds as if they had not quite arrived yet. Approaching, but not entirely there. Anthony Phillips seemed uncomfortable with an electric lead solo, although his pastoral and ensemble playing is excellent. Hackett has those two but his soloing is much better. Gabriel's voice is less strident. Collins' drumming is a definite improvement. Banks and Rutherford sound better as well. Everybody sounds better. The songs are more imaginative.

Well, they say that numbers don't lie.

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

Trespass easily.
