Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I’d say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.

Genesis’ album Nursery Cryme, released in November 1971, marked a significant moment in the band’s evolution and showcased the burgeoning talents of their new drummer and vocalist, Phil Collins, plus guitarist Steve Hackett.

Nursery Cryme saw the band take a more aggressive direction of some songs, with substantially improved drumming. The opening piece, “The Musical Box” combined the band’s trademark mix of twelve-string guitars with harsh electric guitars and keyboards. The song, a macabre fairy story set in Victorian Britain, became the inspiration for the album cover, and went on to be a live favorite.

This album played a pivotal role in establishing the band’s progressive rock sound and laid the foundation for their future success.

Although Peter Gabriel remained the band’s primary vocalist, Collins’ distinctive voice began to shine through on tracks like “For Absent Friends” and “Harlequin.” Collins’ vocals added a new dimension to the band’s sound, blending seamlessly with Gabriel’s, and hinting at the vocal prowess that would later define his solo career. His emotive and versatile singing style contributed to the album’s overall charm.

Nursery Cryme is regarded as a crucial stepping stone in Genesis’ discography, and with time, became recognized as a progressive rock classic. The album received acclaim for its adventurous and intricate compositions, combining elements of folk, rock, and classical music. Genesis’ signature storytelling lyrics, often filled with surreal and whimsical imagery, captivated listeners and added depth to the music.

Critics praised the band’s musicianship, with particular attention to the intricate guitar work of Steve Hackett and the melodic basslines of Mike Rutherford.
