OK, tonight I'm listening to Marbles as I write this. And it's cranked!
Had a hard time getting into Fish-era Marillion (not sure why, there are bits that I like, just couldn't get emotionally attached. Kind of like my attempts at dating, I guess).
I kind of steered clear for a long time, and then I gave Marbles a listen. And holy crap, what an album! To me, this double album is right up there with Lamb from Genesis, The Wall (you-know-who), or Close To The Edge. Like a lot of good classical music, there are ongoing musical themes that reappear throughout the album, tying the whole thing together.
Neverland is the closing piece, and a blockbuster ending to a blockbuster album. I can't resist turning it up to 11!

(10,790 posts)One of my favorite songs of all time. Ive been a Marillion fan for almost 40 years now. Never saw them with Fish, but almost every LA area show since H took over Cant wait for the new album in a couple weeks!

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll have to get this on order.

Gaza on Sounds That cant Be Made is powerful too.
Sorry - theyve been my favorite band since my freshman year in college. I get kind of obsessive.
