Completely agree. Voyage is a very good 4* album but Nursery Cryme is 5* beyond doubt. Spectral Mornings is the only other solo album by a Genesis member to even bear comparison with it.

Nursery Cryme.  Never was a big fan of Acolyte.  I like Hackett's next two albums more.

Voyage of the Acolyte by a very long way. I've said this in the past; Nursery Cryme sounds like s**t. Interestingly, the versions of the NC songs on Steve Hackett's new Genesis revisited II sound very much improved. I always thought they should revisit this album and record it again it was so dreadful sounding the first time!!!
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Nursery Cryme is possibly Genesis best album. In a way it's more consistent than Voyage, but Voyage has other qualities that Cryme doesn't have - they are two different records. Both great and incomparable. No vote.

Nursery Cryme by far - a Prog milestone. Voyage bores me half of the time. Sorry. Cool The production gets me.

Voyage for me. The only song I really love on Nursery Crime is The Music Box, and well, most of the short songs are nice too. But the other 2 long songs are really annoying. On Voyage, I like Shadow of the Hierophant at least as much as Music Box, plus just about all of the album is very nice listen.
