Excuse Me While I Pick My Jaw Up Off The Ground...

Review Score:

(10/10)
...quite simply, the best Marillion Album since "Brave". In a week that *finally* saw the release of The Flower King's "Flower Power" CD in the States, I thought it couldn't get much better...then I *finally* found this CD at the local shop and was completely blown away.

H really shines on this album; Steve Rothery's playing is not only back in true form (after the disappointing "Radiation" CD), but has hit new heights; Mark Kelly's keyboards, as always, shine; Pete and Ian's bass/drum combo are better than ever.

What's terriffic about this CD? Everything! The production, the lyrics, the diverse musical styles on display...not one single bad song on this CD. Highlights (imho, anyway): The wonderfully poppy "Rich" and "Tumble Down The Years", introspective "House", the epic "Interior Lulu".

If you thought the band went South with "Radiation" (like I did)...please note that they are back with a vengence! THIS IS MARILLION AT THEIR FINEST.

Do not walk...RUN and buy this CD! Or save yourself the leg cramps, some tax, and (insert shameless plug here) buy it at Amazon...just make sure you get the Overnight Delivery...you cannot afford to wait to hear this album!
