Hi Music Head

I love this album , it comes from that early fantasy/baroque period of English progressive music. There is great story telling and theater here. Wonderful guitar work , primitive keyboard magic...............For Absent Friends: poetry with sentiment and atmosphere not often bettered by anyone. Seven stones too is a similar master piece.. The title track shows that Genesis has mastered nursery stories with the English psychedelia trick of telling about menace, together with the overtones of sexual awakening.
An excellent choice :biggrin:
.
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown.

There's no need for an apology.. not your fault..
It's just that I thought you were talking of a track called Nursery Cryme & couldn't help wonder what you were talking about.

San Francisco band picks up Todd Rundgren for production chores on this 5th album. A concept album about a television addicted society, and that was 1979. The album when their label (A&M) decided it was time to part company. I didn't think it was that bad. Certainly no worse than the previous effort (Now). Not a great album by any means but I was able to extract four 3's which was enough to give it a passing grade. It reached #46 on the charts.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Get Overture

Best Track - No Mercy

Well it's a shame when you got nobody
And it's a drag when you got no friends
But it's a worse when you get no mercy
And you're startin' all over again
And back in my own world
Nobody bugs me
But down on the shop floor
They show me no mercy
I've been down to the railway station
I've been over to the taxi stand
I've been standing in the lobby of the Hyatt Hotel
But I've never seen a helpin' hand
I'm lookin' for someone
Not out to get me
I'm keepin' my guard up
Expectin' no mercy
No mercy
No pity
There's no mercy for me
No sympathy
They say it's just like a gentle rainfall
But it ain't never rained on me
And back in my own world
Nobody bugs me
But down on the shop floor
They show me no mercy
No mercy
No pity
There's no mercy for me
No sympathy

Four years since the last one which I liked. Forgot all about them. Actor turned musician turned actor turned musician, you get the picture. Jared Leto is straddling the fence. Last album went platinum so the pressure is on for a follow up. First listen was pretty good, but it is a little overkill with that choir thing? On too many tracks.

I Like This Album

Worst Track - L490

Best Track - Stranger In A Strange Land

Enemy of mine, i'll **** you like the devil.
Violent inside, beautiful and evil.
I'm a ghost. Your an angel.
One that was saved.. just remains of an age.
Lost in a day dream, what do you see?
If looking for jesus, get on your knees!

Enemy of mine, i'm just a stranger in a strange land.

Running out of time, better go, go, go!
Angel or a demon, it came from my soul,
I'm guilty of treason, a vaticans son. Tonight...

Angels coming
everybody run
everybody run
You wanna live forever tonight
gonna live forever
Tonight...(x3)
Tonight

Angels coming
everybody run
everybody run
You wanna live forever tonight
gonna live forever
Tonight
Tonight Tonight
angels coming
everybody run
everybody run
You wanna live forever tonight
gonna live forever
Tonight

Lost in the daydream
what do you see
looking for Jesus
get on your knees

Angel or demon
It came from my soul
I'm guilty of treason
a vaticans son
