Album Notes & Community Reviews

Solidifying their classic lineup with the crucial additions of Steve Hackett and Phil Collins, Genesis fully embraced wildly theatrical, Victorian-tinged storytelling. 'Nursery Cryme' is a remarkably complex, beautifully melodic symphonic prog triumph, matching Peter Gabriel's wonderfully quirky, highly surreal fantasy narratives with intensely passionate, fiercely progressive rock musicianship.
