LYRICS FROM "SEVEN STONES"
Farmer, who knows not when to sow,
Consults the old man, clutching money in his hand.
And with a shrug,
The old man smiled,
Took the money, left the farmer wild.   more

ALBUM REVIEW

album cover for Genesis, Nursery Cryme Is the "old man" in "Seven Stones" a metaphor for multinational agribusiness corporations? Unlikely, but the parallel is there—a desperate small farmer seeking sage advice, only to be sold a bill of goods, as in the ultimately empty promise of industrial agriculture. Regardless of the original intent of that particular passage, "Nursery Cryme" is an early Genesis album that is powerful on all levels—lyrically, musically, and emotionally. Other standout tracks include the shimmering "Fountain Of Salmacis," the elegant "Harlequin," and the epic "Return Of The Giant Hogweed." This album is well worth planting in your musical collection.
