THE VISITOR

If you are a a Marillion Fish era fan , you have to get your hands on Aren's Albums - in my opinion the first 2 and this one which is the best as a whole. If you are not a Marillion fan - you have to give this one a chance and I'n sure it won't take more then a few minutes in the record store for you to anderstand that this one is a must have ! Consept albums are rarely made right'\, but when they do they are the best -merging emotions and good music together ( My favorites are The Wall and Misplaced Childhood). After having success with previous Arena's alboms - I've ordered this album without hearing anote from it and I must say that when I did, it was one of those moments when you pray to God you have ears and a powerfull Stereo system. I won't count all the tracks with their pros and cons, some are better then others but the bottom line is that the bad tracks are very good and the good ones are exellent. The albun is very colourfull - many of stiles and dinamics, Arena is one of those bands who doesn't afraid to go up to 11 when it needs to , yet supply inteligent ballads from time to time. Just buy this album - you'll like it if you have ears.
