I have been a hard core Marillion fan since 1884 and I have to say that, with the exception of "This Strange Engine", "Marillion.com" is the worst CD the band has released to date. I thought that the band might be back on track after "Radiation" which was the best CD since "Brave" (a CD which may be one of the best I'ver ever heard and which should be remembered along with "Misplaced Childhood" as one the band's greatest efforts). However, "Marillion.com just doesn't do it for me. The CD seems rushed and not a single track has the depth or quality that are typically of most of Marillion's work. Don't get me wrong, these tracks are still better than most of the garbage you will hear on top 40 radio, but this CD is no where near the quality of of Marillion's early years or of the better CD's they have released over the last 10 years. It should be noted that many of the newer fans, who have had less exposure to Marillion's other work, are giving this CD high marks. Do yourselves a favor and buy the remastered copies of "Childhood's End", "Clutching at Straws", Seasons End" and "Brave", and get "Radiation". You won't be disappointed and you will get to hear the neo-progessive rock at it's best. Better luck next time!
