This is where Genesis really became Genesis.

"The Musical Box" is hilarious, chilling, and kick ass, all at the same time. Immediately one is transported to a the world of Peter Gabriel and Genesis. This could be my favorite performance by Steve Hackett. "Play me my song"!

On my first listen, I thought the shorter songs were really just filler. On closer examination, and several more listens, I like them. Yes, even Collin's song. There really isn't one weak track on Nursery Cryme. The inside booklet is great, it really adds to the album.

"The Return of the Giant Hogweed" is ridiculous. You simply have to hear it with a lyrics sheet in front of you to believe it.

"The Fountain of Salamacis" is my favorite song on this album. It's got the whole package. Cryptic lyrics, epic guitar parts, and a consistent atmosphere.

5/5: Necessary.
